ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. — Leaders at Robins Air Force Base addressed questions from the community after two COVID-19 cases have been confirmed on the base.
Col. Brian Moore says it's just as important for people to adhere to safety precautions on a personal level with social distancing and personal hygiene than it is for the base to implement policies.
Some of the precautions they are taking include putting sanitation stations at the exits of every facility and limited access to certain facilities. Moore also says they asked supervisors to evaluate their teams and their processes and what each could uniquely do to help keep their crews safe.
