I support this petition to allow patients to make their own decisions on mask use. There are already places in the country that allow you to access health care without a mask including physician offices. If you can be seen by a physician where people are going when they are actively sick, you should be able to be seen in a physical therapy clinic where you are asked to physically exert yourself without a mask. Masks are not required in gyms and studies have shown that the spread of COVID-19 is very low in these settings. I don't see why a PT clinic would be classified any differently. Also, if the PT feels uncomfortable for any reason, there is nothing that is keeping them from putting on a mask themselves.
