Moving forward, as new cases are identified, the base’s new tracker will be updated. For every new case, the following four actions will take place:

1. The leadership of the affected unit will be notified, so they can take the necessary precautions in contacting individuals personally who may have had close contact with an individual who tested positive.

2. The 88th Medical Group professionals will keep in contact with those who test positive to provide guidance regarding isolation, self-monitoring and a full tracing of movements over the last two weeks. Work areas will be cleaned per CDC guidance.

3. The tracker of positive cases on Wright-Patterson’s COVID-19 website will be updated.

4. Wright-Patterson officials will continue to work closely with the Ohio Department of Health to coordinate prevention and response efforts in the local area.

All members of the Wright-Patterson community are urged to follow force health protection guidelines, to practice social distancing and proper hygiene, and adhere to travel advisories and restrictions in order to safeguard the community and prevent widespread outbreak.
