00:00.000 --> 00:02.640
- Based off the recent corona pandemic,

00:02.640 --> 00:04.660
Command Sergeant Major Dove
and I wanted to provide you

00:04.660 --> 00:07.270
with an update on what AMCOM is doing

00:07.270 --> 00:09.870
to relate to this situation.

00:09.870 --> 00:12.980
First and foremost, please know
that the safety of yourself,

00:12.980 --> 00:16.050
your family, your coworkers,
and all that you interact with

00:16.050 --> 00:18.150
is foremost on our minds.

00:18.150 --> 00:21.240
To that end, we at AMCOM have
taken the following actions.

00:21.240 --> 00:24.930
First, we have canceled all
external visits to the Command

00:24.930 --> 00:27.620
in accordance with Army
Materiel Command guidance.

00:27.620 --> 00:30.670
Second, we have eliminated all TDY,

00:30.670 --> 00:34.290
and I am the approval authority
for any exceptions to that.

00:34.290 --> 00:35.760
We're maximizing telework

00:35.760 --> 00:38.550
for all whose jobs enable telework,

00:38.550 --> 00:41.850
and for those whose jobs
do not enable telework,

00:41.850 --> 00:44.670
we're going ahead and we're making sure

00:44.670 --> 00:47.710
that social distance is maintained.

00:47.710 --> 00:49.950
We've increased the cleaning level.

00:49.950 --> 00:53.410
And when warranted, we have
given commanders and directors

00:53.410 --> 00:56.260
the opportunity to implement safety leave.

00:56.260 --> 00:58.740
- There's several things that you can do

00:58.740 --> 01:01.493
to protect yourself, your
families, and your coworkers.

01:02.770 --> 01:05.860
Maintain social distancing
of at least six feet or more.

01:05.860 --> 01:07.653
Dial in to meetings when you can.

01:08.980 --> 01:11.230
Practice good hygiene by
washing your hands often

01:11.230 --> 01:12.580
with soap and water.

01:12.580 --> 01:15.760
Avoid touching your eyes,
nose, and your mouth.

01:15.760 --> 01:17.190
And if you have to sneeze or cough,

01:17.190 --> 01:19.240
please do so in a tissue.

01:19.240 --> 01:22.063
And if you're sick, please,
please stay at home.

01:23.110 --> 01:23.950
- And we all recognize

01:23.950 --> 01:26.350
that the situation is changing rapidly,

01:26.350 --> 01:28.520
and so because of which,
we will take every effort

01:28.520 --> 01:31.580
to make sure that you are kept informed,

01:31.580 --> 01:34.440
whether that be through
email, social media,

01:34.440 --> 01:36.880
or through your supervisory chain.

01:36.880 --> 01:40.480
What we'd ask of you to do
is to please stay informed

01:40.480 --> 01:43.600
and follow the local guidance
for your installation,

01:43.600 --> 01:46.120
camp, post, or arsenal that you're on.

01:46.120 --> 01:47.960
Please ask the hard questions.

01:47.960 --> 01:51.550
No question out there should not be asked.

01:51.550 --> 01:54.410
And so if you have it,
likely others do as well.

01:54.410 --> 01:56.770
And we finally ask you to maintain contact

01:56.770 --> 01:58.810
with your supervisory chain.

01:58.810 --> 02:00.410
We all recognize that what you do

02:00.410 --> 02:02.110
for the nation is critical,

02:02.110 --> 02:04.960
and so we thank you for your
willingness to stay flexible

02:04.960 --> 02:06.710
and your support to the warfighter.
