00:01.158 --> 00:03.908
(peaceful music)

00:05.630 --> 00:07.960
- It's important that we
continue to communicate

00:07.960 --> 00:10.500
the latest status concerning COVID-19

00:10.500 --> 00:14.154
and our HPCON posture, here,
at Dugway Proving Ground.

00:14.154 --> 00:16.150
At the end of May, we received guidance

00:16.150 --> 00:19.040
from our higher command and the US Army,

00:19.040 --> 00:22.240
defining the criteria and the processes

00:22.240 --> 00:25.330
to transition to a lower HPCON level

00:25.330 --> 00:27.880
when it was safe to do so.

00:27.880 --> 00:29.810
We have been monitoring several metrics

00:29.810 --> 00:32.250
that help us determine when to transition

00:32.250 --> 00:34.360
from Charlie to Bravo.

00:34.360 --> 00:37.470
We are paying close attention
to four metrics in particular.

00:37.470 --> 00:41.570
Our capability to test, treat,
and monitor for COVID-19

00:41.570 --> 00:43.650
as well as the local case rate.

00:43.650 --> 00:46.730
Currently, Utah's capability
to test, treat and monitor

00:46.730 --> 00:48.770
for COVID-19 remain favorable.

00:48.770 --> 00:51.460
However, the local case
rate remains unsteady,

00:51.460 --> 00:53.850
going up and down from day to day.

00:53.850 --> 00:56.270
Until we see sustained
decrease in that rate,

00:56.270 --> 00:58.660
particularly in the four main counties

00:58.660 --> 01:00.140
where our workforce lives.

01:00.140 --> 01:03.390
Those being Tooele, Salt Lake,
Davis, and Utah counties.

01:03.390 --> 01:05.820
We will remain at HPCON Charlie.

01:05.820 --> 01:08.720
We will continue to monitor
all metrics at Dugway,

01:08.720 --> 01:11.300
throughout the state,
and across the nation.

01:11.300 --> 01:13.750
We will provide updates
as conditions change,

01:13.750 --> 01:17.440
and we gradually transition
to a lower HPCON.

01:17.440 --> 01:19.020
I want to thank you.

01:19.020 --> 01:21.830
We have not had a confirmed COVID-19 case

01:21.830 --> 01:24.750
among our workforce or
residents, here, at Dugway,

01:24.750 --> 01:27.490
and this is due to your
continued diligence

01:27.490 --> 01:29.920
and adhering to our
control measures to protect

01:29.920 --> 01:32.020
your family and our community.

01:32.020 --> 01:35.070
Again, thank you for
your patience and efforts

01:35.070 --> 01:36.654
in keeping us all safe.

01:36.654 --> 01:39.404
