To wear a mask?

So I have to attend the hospital tomorrow to have my bloods taken. I'm wondering if I should wear a mask? Has anyone been wearing masks for hospital visits? Are the staff at the hospital wearing masks? What protection is in place for us visiting the hospital? What are your thoughts..

Hi I went yesterday for scan. I've worn mask both times had to go to hospital, but this time I took it off whilst in waiting room, but then lots of staff walked quite close to me in corridors, some had masks, some didn't so was bit worrying.

I think I'll feel better if I wear one!

I’ve got my 20 week scan on Monday and I’m definitely wearing a mask when I go. I don’t think it’s mandatory though xx

I went to the hospital yesterday for a blood test and they had a bloke on the door handing out masks and telling you to use the hand sanitizer. So you may be able to get one at the hospital

You only wear a mask to protect others. So it likely won't make any difference
