My workplace seems to be going in the opposite direction when it comes to masks and what not. They recently announced that regular cloth masks are no longer acceptable, and all employees must use a blue surgical mask or an N-95. I believe they're moving toward trying to get everyone to wear an N-95, as they're passing them out to anyone who asks for one. The overwhelming majority of employees are vaccinated, and omicron and subsequent variants are weaker than previous strains. It doesn't make any sense to me, and I've been pretty on-board with masking in public this whole time.
