DAVIS-MONTHAN AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz. -- Davis-Monthan Air Force Base has declared a Public Health Emergency in response to COVID-19.
This declaration will provide Davis-Monthan with the tools necessary to protect our Airmen, their families and help limit the spread of the virus. This will increase the installation’s ability to protect the force, safeguard national security missions, and support whole-of-government efforts to combat COVID-19.
The declaration allows the installation commander additional authority to enforce social distancing. This includes providing additional telework opportunities, expanding the civilian leave policy and further restricting base access if required.
Davis-Monthan remains in Health Protection Condition (HPCON) Charlie.
Airmen and their families can remain informed about COVID-19 using the list of resources below. If members of the Davis-Monthan community develop symptoms, come into close contact with a person known to have COVID-19 or who has recently traveled from an affected area, they should immediately contact 355th Medical Group Public Health’s COVID-19 Helpline (520-228-1904).
