The actions of each individual make an impact on our entire community, and the most important action individuals can take right now to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is to get vaccinated.
Unvaccinated individuals are the most at-risk population for severe disease and death from COVID-19. If you have children in your home who are unable to be vaccinated, please help protect them by getting vaccinated yourself.
If you are experiencing possible COVID-19 symptoms (fever, cough, difficulty breathing, chills, muscle aches, fatigue, headache, sore throat, stuffy nose, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or sudden loss of taste and smell), DO NOT go to work or expose others. Call the medical appointment line at DSN: 225-8864 Opt. 7 or Cell: 042-552-2510 Ext. 58864 Opt. 7 for evaluation and instructions. For questions about ROM, please utilize your chain of command.
