00:00.800 --> 00:03.780
- [Sadie] In the midst
of the COVID-19 outbreak,

00:03.780 --> 00:06.430
team Whiteman remains COVID-19 free

00:06.430 --> 00:08.040
and continues mission readiness

00:08.040 --> 00:10.761
by remaining open and operational.

00:10.761 --> 00:13.178
(soft music)

00:15.830 --> 00:17.730
- As we deal with this evolving situation,

00:17.730 --> 00:21.240
we all have to remember that
every action that we take

00:21.240 --> 00:24.170
could have a profound impact
on our ability to conduct

00:24.170 --> 00:26.110
the very most important mission

00:26.110 --> 00:28.050
that our nation asks us to do.

00:28.050 --> 00:31.250
Strategic deterrence is
the bedrock upon which

00:31.250 --> 00:34.110
all other national defense activities rest

00:34.110 --> 00:35.760
and we have a solemn duty

00:35.760 --> 00:37.540
as Airmen in the five and nine Bomb Wing

00:37.540 --> 00:39.663
to be ready to respond when called upon.

00:40.619 --> 00:43.036
(soft music)

00:44.750 --> 00:46.730
- [Sadie] In order to maintain readiness,

00:46.730 --> 00:49.420
many Arm base facilities
like the Fitness Center

00:49.420 --> 00:51.470
are doing whatever it takes to remain open

00:51.470 --> 00:54.320
for service members and
their families to use

00:54.320 --> 00:56.604
keeping the fit to fight.

00:56.604 --> 00:59.021
(soft music)

01:01.310 --> 01:04.620
- [Angela] The Fitness Centers
open until further notice.

01:04.620 --> 01:06.660
The Fitness Center is a place for

01:06.660 --> 01:11.660
people to let out stress
and to boost morale.

01:11.860 --> 01:14.400
So we've implemented the six-foot rule

01:14.400 --> 01:15.960
and in the weight room,

01:15.960 --> 01:19.080
we're asking members to place
themselves in the cardio room,

01:19.080 --> 01:21.493
we've closed down every other machine.

01:22.460 --> 01:23.810
- [Sadie] While there are still no

01:23.810 --> 01:25.670
confirmed cases on Whiteman,

01:25.670 --> 01:28.530
the Fitness Center like
other central base facilities

01:28.530 --> 01:30.513
heighten their sanitary measures.

01:31.400 --> 01:33.740
- We have a strict schedule
that we are all following

01:33.740 --> 01:35.030
and we're all working together.

01:35.030 --> 01:38.600
Each shift has priority items to clean

01:38.600 --> 01:41.490
and all areas of the
Fitness Center are covered.

01:41.490 --> 01:43.260
We're using bleach

01:43.260 --> 01:46.700
and our wipes also have
been approved by the CDC

01:46.700 --> 01:48.880
to kill the Coronavirus.

01:48.880 --> 01:51.297
(soft music)

01:54.470 --> 01:56.480
- [Sadie] Even food services technicians

01:56.480 --> 01:58.200
and security forces personnel

01:58.200 --> 01:59.640
are taking preventative steps

01:59.640 --> 02:02.130
to keep all members
protected from any chance

02:02.130 --> 02:03.680
of the virus spreading to them.

02:05.820 --> 02:08.390
