I work in healthcare (radiology) so in person work the entire pandemic. A lot has changed for us. We wear masks and goggles ALL DAY LONG! I don't see that going away any time soon. Also, full PPE (gowns, gloves, N95 masks, face shields) for anyone with any covid symptoms. I think that is also here to stay. We also have to screen every morning upon entering the building as do patients. Very limited visitation for patients. We also had a vaccine mandate for healthcare workers in my state and we lost soooo many people and are so short-handed. We are paying $$$ to traveling techs just to get by. It will take years to get back to normal staffing levels without travelers. Sadly, healthcare is forever changed and definitely not for the better. I wish I was closer to retirement!
