It's like getting into Ft. Knox here P-hole. My "not-so-important" appointments have been postponed, but I have some necessary appointments that are pretty important. I've been to two of them recently (just had an ultrasound last week) and have a CT Scan this coming Monday. I won't list the precautions they're taking at "my" VA hospital, but they're serious about this and you're all but put into a plastic bubble before entering. The precautions and requirements are here if you want to dig through them:

And they're dead serious about all of it. It's a PITA, but I appreciate knowing they aren't fooling around. As for "shamefully high Covid rates", I've seen no reports of it here.
