WEBVTT 00:00.776 --> 00:04.680 - COVID-19 had highlighted many evolving challenges. 00:04.680 --> 00:06.470 Especially when it comes to medical screening 00:06.470 --> 00:08.400 for passenger travel. 00:08.400 --> 00:11.420 To mitigate the threat, the 731st AMS 00:11.420 --> 00:13.780 and the 51st Fighter Wing Med Group have teamed up. 00:13.780 --> 00:16.390 - While maintaining social distancing, to develop pre 00:16.390 --> 00:19.550 and post flight passenger screening protocols. 00:19.550 --> 00:21.130 Our goals are twofold. 00:21.130 --> 00:23.580 Number one, to protect the health of our force, 00:23.580 --> 00:25.620 our families and all passengers, 00:25.620 --> 00:27.930 and also to safeguard the mission. 00:27.930 --> 00:29.150 - Now the world's finest airmen 00:29.150 --> 00:32.290 will show you how Osan Airbase has implemented 00:32.290 --> 00:34.340 tactics, techniques, and procedures 00:34.340 --> 00:36.318 to reduce the spread, protect the force, 00:36.318 --> 00:37.653 and continue the mission. 00:38.630 --> 00:41.310 - Personnel protection is currently the priority mission 00:41.310 --> 00:42.710 for Osan Airbase. 00:42.710 --> 00:44.370 And to that end, we have instituted 00:44.370 --> 00:46.740 health screening operations at every gate 00:46.740 --> 00:48.193 before entering the base. 00:49.760 --> 00:50.665 Because of this, we have created a bubble 00:50.665 --> 00:54.970 with a well-screened, well-vetted population, 00:54.970 --> 00:56.650 so for departing passengers, 00:56.650 --> 00:58.980 you can say the initial screening process 00:58.980 --> 01:00.713 actually begins at the gate. 01:02.089 --> 01:04.540 - Once passengers clear the main gate, 01:04.540 --> 01:07.540 they'll enter the terminal via a single entry control point. 01:09.140 --> 01:10.800 The first portion of the screening 01:10.800 --> 01:12.220 involves passengers filling out 01:12.220 --> 01:16.150 a traveler's health declaration, or THD. 01:16.150 --> 01:18.530 In accordance with CDC guidance, 01:18.530 --> 01:21.350 the THD is a locally developed checklist 01:21.350 --> 01:24.660 that identifies local threats and requests travel history 01:24.660 --> 01:26.800 and self-identified symptoms. 01:26.800 --> 01:28.880 Once completed, the temperature of the passenger 01:28.880 --> 01:30.843 is taken and recorded on the form. 01:33.950 --> 01:36.270 Any passenger who has a temperature above 01:36.270 --> 01:41.100 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit or answered yes on a THD 01:41.100 --> 01:43.207 will be instructed to don PPE 01:43.207 --> 01:45.143 and referred to secondary screening. 01:46.690 --> 01:48.930 - Secondary screening is conducted at a location 01:48.930 --> 01:50.483 separate from other passengers. 01:51.400 --> 01:54.630 The medical team will review the passenger's THD 01:54.630 --> 01:57.510 along with performing a more in depth review 01:57.510 --> 02:00.290 of symptoms associated with COVID-19. 02:00.290 --> 02:02.020 If the passenger is symptomatic, 02:02.020 --> 02:06.151 and meets travel history, and or contact exposure criteria, 02:06.151 --> 02:08.860 the passenger will then be escorted out 02:08.860 --> 02:10.340 of the secondary area 02:10.340 --> 02:14.610 and transported to 51 MDG for testing and quarantine. 02:14.610 --> 02:16.550 If a passenger meets travel history 02:16.550 --> 02:19.791 and or contact exposure, but have no symptoms, 02:19.791 --> 02:22.230 they will be quarantined for 14 days 02:22.230 --> 02:23.320 from last exposure. 02:23.320 --> 02:26.260 If they do not meet travel history or contact exposure, 02:26.260 --> 02:28.910 but they have symptoms, they will be denied travel 02:28.910 --> 02:33.910 at least 48 hours until their symptoms have resolved. 02:33.990 --> 02:36.880 For all individuals that do not meet travel history 02:36.880 --> 02:39.997 or contact exposure, and do not have any symptoms, 02:39.997 --> 02:42.383 they will be medically cleared for travel. 02:43.490 --> 02:45.890 The secondary screening area will be sanitized 02:45.890 --> 02:48.913 once all passengers have departed the screening area. 02:50.040 --> 02:51.540 - Once cleared by medical, 02:51.540 --> 02:53.210 the passenger will then continue to fill out 02:53.210 --> 02:55.305 the AMC travel questionnaire. 02:55.305 --> 02:57.710 This attachment screens for transient 02:57.710 --> 03:00.130 and final destination country restrictions 03:00.130 --> 03:00.963 in accordance with the 03:00.963 --> 03:03.680 International Air Transport Association. 03:03.680 --> 03:05.400 If a passenger answers yes 03:05.400 --> 03:07.360 to any of the country restrictions, 03:07.360 --> 03:10.970 that individual will be denied military air travel. 03:10.970 --> 03:14.720 If a passenger has been denied travel by medical or AMC, 03:14.720 --> 03:16.240 that passenger will be placed 03:16.240 --> 03:19.040 on the local hold list in gates. 03:19.040 --> 03:22.010 Additionally, if the passenger is traveling to, 03:22.010 --> 03:26.570 through, or from a CDC designated level three country, 03:26.570 --> 03:27.928 they'll be required to fill out 03:27.928 --> 03:30.461 the CDC data spreadsheet. 03:30.461 --> 03:33.674 After a passenger has been cleared by AMC, 03:33.674 --> 03:35.950 they'll proceed to the check in counter, 03:35.950 --> 03:39.135 where they'll provide their THD and AMC travel questionnaire 03:39.135 --> 03:42.000 to the agent before they are processed. 03:42.000 --> 03:44.570 This is to ensure all passengers fill out these forms 03:44.570 --> 03:46.170 and are cleared before boarding. 03:48.060 --> 03:50.690 Once the passenger manifest has been closed, 03:50.690 --> 03:52.170 an AMC member will compile 03:52.170 --> 03:54.173 the flight and station file package. 03:55.570 --> 03:59.230 The THDs, AMC travel questionnaires, and manifests 03:59.230 --> 04:01.063 will be included in both packages. 04:01.940 --> 04:04.840 - US Forces Korea requires all passengers 04:04.840 --> 04:07.560 entering the Republic of Korea to be COVID tested 04:07.560 --> 04:09.730 and quarantined for 14 days. 04:09.730 --> 04:12.100 To ensure we maintain force health protection, 04:12.100 --> 04:14.260 the key to the inbound screening process 04:14.260 --> 04:16.866 is to identify passengers early in the process 04:16.866 --> 04:20.303 who are at high risk of having COVID-19. 04:21.900 --> 04:24.450 Before entering the gate, all passengers are provided PPE 04:24.450 --> 04:26.910 and will have their temperatures taken 04:26.910 --> 04:29.290 along with an assessment of contact history 04:29.290 --> 04:32.070 and COVID-19 associated symptoms. 04:32.070 --> 04:35.000 Any passenger meeting these high risk criteria, 04:35.000 --> 04:38.050 along with all passengers who sat within six feet of them 04:38.050 --> 04:40.680 during the flight will be escorted to an area 04:40.680 --> 04:43.700 separated from all other passengers. 04:43.700 --> 04:45.780 For all other passengers, temperatures 04:45.780 --> 04:48.703 and a review of their THD will be completed. 04:49.540 --> 04:50.466 Like the outbound process, 04:50.466 --> 04:54.740 if a passenger answers yes to any questions on the THD, 04:54.740 --> 04:57.190 they will be escorted to the secondary screening. 04:58.720 --> 05:02.120 Since all inbound passengers must be tested and quarantined, 05:02.120 --> 05:05.920 the key to effectively and efficiently moving passengers 05:05.920 --> 05:08.720 through the process is to coordinate transportation 05:08.720 --> 05:12.610 and final destination notification as early as possible. 05:12.610 --> 05:15.070 For Osan, this is a joint effort 05:15.070 --> 05:16.797 involving multiple entities to include 05:16.797 --> 05:20.983 51st LRS, Osan COVID command center, 05:20.983 --> 05:23.800 army medical and mobility personnel, 05:23.800 --> 05:27.290 along with other USFK installation assets. 05:27.290 --> 05:29.520 After all passengers have departed the area, 05:29.520 --> 05:31.353 the gate will then be sanitized. 05:34.240 --> 05:36.270 - We hope this video has been helpful for you 05:36.270 --> 05:37.460 and for your team 05:37.460 --> 05:39.970 to reduce the spread, protect the force, 05:39.970 --> 05:41.482 and continue the mission. 05:41.482 --> 05:44.066 - (speaking in foreign language), we go together. 05:44.066 --> 05:46.143 Hashtag kill the virus.
