COVID-19 Force Health Protection Order

Wednesday, June 24, 2020

NPS Team,

United States Fleet Forces Command (USFFC) has released additional Force Health Protection guidance here reiterating the risk that COVID-19 presents to our service members, civilian workforce, and families and that it is essential that every one of us takes personal responsibility to limit the spread of coronavirus.  In light of the growing body of evidence that the coronavirus is spread through contact with asymptomatic persons and a widespread increase in COVID-19 positive cases including within Monterey County, it is imperative that we remain vigilant in executing mitigation measures, such as social distancing even though the local community may be easing restrictions and opening up additional retail services and activities.

To that end, USFFC has directed mandatory measures and prohibitions for uniformed service members, strongly encouraged for the civilian workforce and families, until the local conditions enable a transition from our current HPCON C- to HPCON B Force Health Protection Measures:
