I've seen policies of "test on arrival, keep your N95 on until your test
resolves" in a lot of places, and I think they're often a reasonable
tradeoff: it means your test is as current as possible, an N95 is very
effective, and the chance of a positive is low.

If the rule was "everyone tested and wearing an N95 the whole time" that
would be different, but this is a situation where the default was to keep
the N95 on and not test.
