Barksdale HPCON ALPHA Guidance

 

* On-base mask wear is optional

  • Mask wear in 2d Medical Group Clinic is optional, with the following guidance:
    • Patients and employees who have upper respiratory symptoms will still be required to wear a mask.
    • Healthcare workers who have had COVID and have returned to work must wear a mask until the 10th day from when they began to have  COVID symptoms or tested positive (if asymptomatic).

Current Base Guidance

Face covering requirements when inside BAFB facilities are in accordance with the CDC’s COVID-19 Community Levels guidance, and will use “Louisiana” and “Bossier Parish” to determine the community risk level via the following websites:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/community-levels.html
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/covid-by-county.html
When Bossier Parish’s community level is listed as low, on-base mask wear is optional, except for,

  • Patients and employees who have upper respiratory symptoms will still be required to wear a mask.
  • Healthcare workers who have had COVID and have returned to work must wear a mask until the 10th day from when they began to have  COVID symptoms or tested positive (if asymptomatic).

When Bossier Parish’s community level is listed as high, the requirement for on-base mask wear remains in effect. 2 BW leadership will actively communicate changes to COVID-19 community levels and associated mask wear requirements.
