NAS Fallon reports self-quarantine for 8 individuals

Naval Air Station Fallon reports Friday morning eight individuals are in self-quarantine. They had traveled to the United States from Bahrain, but because they transited through Germany they are in self-quarentine. NAS Fallon said the individuals are not showing any symptoms of COVID-19 at this time. Navy Region Southwest installations, including NAS Fallon, are in Health Protection Condition Alpha in response to the spread of COVID-19. To help prevent the potential spread of the virus among visitors to our installations, our security forces are implementing "no-touch" ID checks at all access points onto and within the installations. Personnel accessing the installations and other entry control points should be prepared to maintain possession of their IDs while the gate guards view or scan them for access verification. The Navy apologizes for any delays in access, or increased traffic, that this may cause. This change in procedures is precautionary to protect the health and safety of all visitors and Navy personnel.       Sign up to receive updates and the Friday File email notices.
