  • 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.
