- Hello, I am MC1 Preston
and here's some news you can use.
The Navy has released NAVADMIN 100/20
and in it you'll find guidance
for the wearing of face coverings
as the world deals with the COVID-19 crisis.
Face coverings are now deemed a necessary mitigation measure
on naval installations where personnel
are not able to maintain the advised six feet of separation.
This includes sailors, civilian employees,
their families, and contractors.
There is some guidance for the face coverings.
They should be conservative in appearance,
not offensive, and conform to the CDC guidelines.
Those guidelines include fitting comfortably,
covering from the nose to the chin,
and be secured with ties or ear loops,
and not restrict breathing.
According to health officials,
face coverings made from multiple layers of fabric
work the best.
Not authorized are ski masks
which cover the entire face.
Until official face coverings are produced
and provided by commands, personnel are authorized
to wear medical or construction masks
or masks made from cloth, such as bandanas or scarves.
Again, you can find the very latest info in NAVADMIN 100/20.

Thanks for watching.
