Posted Mar 14, 2020 11:15 PM

Out of an abundance of caution, Fort Riley leaders are implementing the following measures to prevent the potential spread of COVID-19:

. All service members returning from leave/official travel will immediately report to staff duty for health screening.

. All personnel who traveled outside the U.S. or have come in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 are required to undergo 14 days restriction of movement.

. Mandatory hand washing stations at high traffic locations.

. Limiting large group gatherings.

. If you or any family members feel sick, stay home or in your barracks, notify leadership, and call 1-800-TRICARE.

. Commanders/directors may authorize telework or local pass for personnel with sick family members or out-of-school children.

. Official travel is suspended.

. Practice social distancing (i.e. limit physical contact and maintain minimum six feet of separation).

. Increase hygiene (i.e. frequent hand washing, disinfect high-use surfaces, cover coughs/sneezes).
