This article has been updated with new info from Eglin as of 9:14pm on Wednesday

Due to the decrease in COVID-19 cases across Eglin Air Force Base and local communities, Brig. Gen. Scott Cain, the 96th Test Wing commander, directs Health Protection Condition Bravo.

In addition, mask wear is not required indoors with the exception of the hospital in accordance with new DOD policy.

Healthcare professionals will continue to comply with mask-wear guidance. Patients, visitors and all others entering base healthcare facilities will continue to wear masks while in these facilities to reduce transmission of COVID-19.

All Eglin AFB personnel will continue to exercise diligence in personal hygiene and public health risk mitigation measures. These measures include:

Strict hygiene.
Regular cleaning of workplace common areas.
Gatherings are limited to 50 persons unless approved
Wear masks in accordance with current guidance.
Physical distancing – maintaining at least a six-foot distance between individuals.
Stay at home when experiencing symptoms or illness, notify your supervision, and contact your primary care manager.
