Naval Air Station Fallon and Nevada National Guard installations continue to monitor the COVID-19 virus on a daily basis.
To help prevent the potential spread of the virus among visitors to the Navy installations, security forces have "no-touch" ID checks at all access points onto and within the installations.
Personnel accessing the installations and other entry control points should be prepared to maintain possession of their IDs while the gate guards view or scan them for access verification.
According to Navy guidelines, HPCON C coincides with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warning level 3 that indicates sustained community transmission. NAS Fallon has been implementing the measures formalized by HPCON C to include strict hygiene (no handshaking, wipe common-use items); social distancing, postponing or cancelling non-essential activities and avoiding large groups of more than 10 people.
Main street work
Main street coming onto the base will be torn up.
Public Works is working with the contractor that is building the Navy Operational Support Center, and the water main installation will go under Churchill Drive. The main gate will be open as it normally is, but traffic onto the air station will be diverted through the parking area on the east side of the O’ Club, and routed out to Union Lane.
Traffic departing the base will be detoured through the chapel parking lot and back onto Churchill. Because of the detours, no vehicles will be allowed to park in either the O’ Club staff parking area, or the chapel parking lot until construction is completed.
DOD directive on face coverings
Service members and civilians are required to wear face coverings at all Department of Defense installations including those in Northern Nevada and Mono County, Calif., to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease.
