France: "Wearing a mask is once again mandatory in Paris hospitals"
"Faced with a rapid rise in respiratory infections, several hospitals in the Île-de-France region have decided to reinstate mandatory mask-wearing for healthcare workers, visitors, and patients over the age of 6."

Human to human transmission is also possible. The patient could have caught it from an asymptomatic human case, which exist. Flu typically has a wide range of effects
"No H2H unless proven otherwise" is quite a bias.
If confirmed it will be WA's first confirmed case. How many others are out there?

This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

And ultimately what is necessary is upgraded ventilation, filtration, and upper-room UV in all indoor public spaces. That would stop this. We don't need N95s forever in most places, any more than we need to boil water everywhere, anymore. Engineering is enough... if we do it.
The problem is, if people are willing to settle for less than what is actually necessary (respirator masks being required in all public spaces), it ensures that what is actually necessary will never happen.
