NEW Department of the Air Force-wide exceptions for mask wear
In addition to identified Department of Defense exceptions for mask wear, the DAF-wide exceptions are as follows: 

(1) when necessary to reasonably accommodate a religious belief;
(2) when underlying health conditions that prohibit the wear of a face covering exist and the individual is in possession of medical documentation from a health care provider outlining such a condition and the restrictions the condition places on wear of a face covering;
(3) when outdoors and proper physical distancing can be maintained;
(4) when actively participating in physical fitness activities either indoors or outdoors and either proper physical distancing is maintained or additional measures are implemented to mitigate the threat of transmission;
(5) when an individual is alone in a vehicle or is sharing the vehicle only with members of their household;
(6) when use substantively interferes with the proper wear and use of personal protective equipment necessary for the accomplishment of one's military duties
(7) when personnel are in primary aircrew positions during critical phases of flight or emergencies; or when using flight crew oxygen equipment
(8) when clear or unrestricted visualization of verbal communication are essential to safe and. effective operations

Masks are not required when Occupational Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is being used ( e.g., PPE used by personnel on the Respiratory Protection Program, surgical masks in the healthcare setting, fire fighters wearing supplied air respirators, Airmen or Guardians wearing CBRN masks, etc.) 

This guidance applies to all: 
•    Total Force Military Personnel
•    DoD Civilian Employees (including Non-Appropriated Funded Civilians)
•    Family Members
•    DoD Contractors
•    All other individuals on DoD property, installations, and facilities

SPECIAL NOTE: 

COVID-19 remains a threat to our base, our mission, and our neighbors in the City of Cheyenne and surrounding areas. While we continue to see lower numbers of COVID-19 cases in these areas, F. E. Warren AFB remains under a Public Health Emergency and Health Protection Condition Bravo (HPCON B). In order to continue reduced risk to our missions, forces, and families, it is imperative the F. E. Warren AFB population and visitors to the installation comply with the restrictions imposed by the installation commander as well as federal, state, and local mandates and recommendations.

At this time, in addition to these measures, vaccination against the COVID-19 virus is our best option for moving forward toward returning to “normal.” Our workforce is responding to the vaccination call with over 2,000 vaccines dispensed to date. The continuing acceptance of the vaccine and compliance with the restrictions have helped us to relieve some previous restrictions.

However, we MUST continue to wear masks and keep at least six feet away from those not in our household.

Updates (more details in sections below and to the right):

LOCAL AREA RESTRICTIONS

• Follow F. E. Warren AFB’s Military Public Health Officer, Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention, and other federal, state, and local government guidance related to social gatherings, mask wear, etc. This is critical to keeping services safe and open.

​IF SHOWING SYMPTOMS

IF SHOWING SYMPTOMS

Respiratory Operations Medical Clinic (ROMC) Contact Procedures.

• For uniformed service members who are symptomatic, contact the ROMC at 307-773-5132, Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. – 4 p.m.  After hours and weekends, if symptoms are mild and the member feels comfortable waiting until the next day, call ROMC in the morning. Otherwise, call the nurse advice line for further guidance.
• If a member has been contacted by Public Health or unit commanders have concerns regarding individuals that may have been in close contact with a COVID-19 positive individual, contact Public Health at 307-773-3040.
  • Public Health will determine if contact tracing is appropriate and make the determination if the individual needs to call ROMC.
• Individuals designated in Restriction of Movement (ROM), Quarantine, or Isolation status will comply with specific direction/orders and established measures.
• DoD civilians, dependents, and contractors who are symptomatic should contact local Urgent Care or their physician for guidance.

Medically Directed ROM

Quarantine: A military member, dependent, or civilian employee may be ordered by the Public Health Emergency Officer to quarantine if they have been in contact with known COVID-19 positive person. The quarantined individual may or may not have symptoms, and they may or may not have been tested for COVID-19. Quarantine orders require the individual quarantined to not leave the quarantine location (home) unless immediate safety concerns arise and take all necessary precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the disease.  Violation of a quarantine order may be punishable under Articles 84 and 92 of the UCMJ and 42 USC §271d.

• Use your supervisor, first sergeant and unit commander when you need something outside the quarantine location.  For instance, if you are COVID-19 positive and you are in isolation but your child is at school, get hold of your leadership as soon as possible so they can help arrange for someone to pick up your child and help prevent the spread.  This isn’t happening, and we are seeing impacts on the school system.
• Understand that we are actively tracking quarantine and isolation orders at all base entry points.  To learn more, hop on the AF Connect App and click on the COVID-19 updates.
• If you are quarantined or isolated, please think about your family. If your spouse is an FCC provider, discontinue childcare ASAP and contact Public Health with this information. 

Isolation: A military member, dependent, or civilian employee may be ordered by the Public Health Emergency Officer to isolate if they have tested positive for COVID-19. The isolated individual may or may not have symptoms, and they may or may not have been tested for COVID-19. Isolation orders require the individual isolated to not leave the location (home) unless immediate safety concerns arise and take all necessary precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the disease.  Violation of a isolation order may be punishable under Articles 84 and 92 of the UCMJ and 42 USC §271d.
