@hckynutjohnMy dr.'s office was pretty much open all during even the early days of the pandemic, but with precautions. I don't think they closed at all. At the beginning, they had a person stationed outside, who took your temp & wrote it on a paper before they'd allow you inside. I live in AZ, so sitting outdoors at a desk in the heat probably was no fun.

Now, you still must wear a mask inside & the receptionist takes your temp at the front desk. Everyone in the office, from the front desk to medical personnel all still wear masks & there's a sign on the entrance that you MUST wear a mask to enter, I think it's a practice-wide requirement & it's pretty much the only place that I go that I still have to wear a mask to enter.

@aubnwa01 medical offices in NJ still have the mask requirement in place.

Last time my husband went to his endocrinologist I went him and went inside to wait instead of sitting in the car. They don't do temperature checks but still ask all those stupid covid questions.

I'm sitting in the waiting room, the check in window is slid wide open, the door to go back to the exam rooms is wide open, the check out window is wide open and all you can hear is coughing, sneezing and nose blowing coming from the staff sitting in the check in and check out space.

Thinking back, I'm pretty sure it's where we picked up the upper respiratory we both came down with.
