Today, I was informed that my VA region (VISN 8) has relaxed their masking requirements in VHA facilities for both veterans / patients and staff in accordance with an agency wide directive issued 3/3/23.
@XaoslordErie VISN 8 is FL, S. GA, and the Caribbean. I'm thinking El Paso is either VISN 17 or 22. Can't quite tell from the map where El Paso falls.
17, even though I physically live in 22; El Paso VAMC is closest to me. It used to be Amarillo (Thomas Creek VAMC), but then I moved south in NM.
@SSNBubblehead
'Tis so in my region as well (El Paso).
