NAS Fallon Operates in Health Protection Condition

NAS Fallon Operates in Health Protection Condition
Information taken from NAS Fallon website and social media pages --  
 Besides being home to nearly 5,000 military, civilian, and contract employees, Naval Air Station Fallon serves a large population of retired military members.
  NAS Fallon is currently operating in Health Protection Condition, referred to as "Charlie Minus." Required measures to protect the health and well being of Navy personnel as well as the local community have been implemented since last week, and no major changes to access or services are expected at this time.
  All hands are reminded to continue daily COVID-19 screening procedures. The self-questionnaire was posted 19 March and can be found below. If in doubt personnel are directed to stay home and contact their supervisor/chain of command.
  The following is a summary of “C MINUS” requirements.  
  •  Cancel unit and installation sponsored events.
  • Issue instructions to personnel to avoid large public gatherings and practice social distancing
  • Maximize telework plans for telework ready employees.
  • Re-scope, modify, delay, or cancel upcoming exercises
  • Continue to approve leave and travel to and from the area on a case-by-case basis (In accordance with NAVNORTH and PACFLT guidance and authorities)
  • Coordinate with state and local authorities to synchronize in-garrison self-monitoring guidance for personnel returning from higher risk locations (previous ROM guidance).
  • Assess travelers, in accordance with current guidance, upon arrival from other areas. Inform them of any local monitoring and movement expectations.
  • Evaluate operations at visitor control centers: Utilize electronic means to the maximum extent possible to grant installation access. Discontinue waiting room utilization if social distancing cannot be maintained. If necessary, direct customers to secondary holding areas until called.
  • All commands coordinate with contractors, vendors, delivery services, etc. to ensure their personnel are not performing services while sick or symptomatic.
  • Installation Commanding Officer, and as appropriate Region Commanders, host tenant command leadership meetings to review HPCON measures in effect and to identify mission impacts. Provide periodic reports to all tenant command leadership on status of installation support modifications/functions.
