      It depends on the hospital and the position at this point. Going from interview to interview I've seen a range. I believe my state still mandates mask wearing in hospitals but otherwise everyone has stopped. In a community hospital in the very wealthy suburbs most people in the hospital were masked but some secretaries were going without one, but the staff all were. At a local community hospital they've gotten rid of their signage on the door and though they have signage around the building still stating masks are mandated there were some people going around without masks in the open without being scolded. In virtual interviews I've not seen any masks but they're usually in an office which I suppose is fine for its purpose. As much as people like to wish COVID is gone in healthcare, everyone is still keenly aware that it's still a threat but how that will last if the legal mandate ends is beyond me.
