These policies never had anything to do with COVID, or with stopping the spread, or with preventing people from getting sick, or with protecting hospitals from being overwhelmed. The vaccines are about compliance, and as long as you've shown you're willing to comply, you can hang around all the patients you want, COVID or no.
Two large hospitals near me have had a policy from the start of not testing any employees unless specifically requested. The reasoning is that they don't have to anything if they don't know anything.
Exact same shit here in Australia. More or less any of the industries with a jab mandate are allowing people who test positive but are 'asymptomatic' to continue working.
They realised they shot themselves in the foot with the mandate, but politicians being what they are, they'll never admit they made a mistake.
The politicians didn't make a mistake. The mandate is doing what it's supposed to - establish a status quo where you report your every move to the government and anyone who doesn't is treated like shit.
It makes perfect sense as soon as you realize the only thing they care about is selling vaccines and unpersoning conservatives.

The incongruency only arises because you listened to what they said.
Again, as always, watch what people do. Ignore what they say.
