FACE COVERING POLICY
Effective 11APR22, in accordance with the most recent and most significant change published by the CDC, DoD and DON, FRCSE will implement the following mask and COVID mitigation strategy:

•    When the COVID-19 Community Level is High in the county where an FRCSE facility is located, indoor mask wearing shall be required for ALL service members, federal civilian employees, onsite contractor personnel (collectively known as "DoD personnel"), and all visitors, regardless of vaccination status.  Additionally, a testing program for those who are unvaccinated will be required at the facility.
Environmental exemption (face covering):
MASKS WILL NOT BE REQUIRED in all non-air-conditioned spaces during hot/humid months (effective through 30 September). DoD guidance (Consolidated Department of Defense Coronavirus Disease 2019 Force Health Protection Guidance dtd 4 Apr 22) allows for the following exception: When environmental conditions are such that mask wearing presents a health and safety hazard (e.g., extreme elevated temperatures).
•    When the COVID-19 Community Level is Medium in the county where an FRCSE facility is located, indoor mask wearing is not required for DoD personnel or visitors, regardless of vaccination status.  A testing program for unvaccinated personnel shall be utilized during Medium as well.
•    When the COVID-19 Community Level is Low in the county where an FRCSE facility is located, indoor mask wearing is not required for DoD personnel or visitors, regardless of vaccination status.  A testing program is NOT required during Low.

Individuals may choose to wear a mask regardless of the COVID-19 Community Level.  

Community levels may be found at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/covid-by-county.html.  Find community levels by "State or Territory" and then by "County or Metro Area."
  
When the Community Level shifts, an all hands message will be released alerting the workforce with specific guidance related to mask and testing requirements.  Be advised, that if you are not in Duval County, you are to follow the Community Level of the area you are located.
