00:04.140 --> 00:05.830
- Good afternoon, Pathfinder community.

00:05.830 --> 00:07.780
I'm Major Daniel Hurtt,

00:07.780 --> 00:10.420
and I'm one of the public
health emergency officers

00:10.420 --> 00:11.500
for the Wing,

00:11.500 --> 00:13.340
and we're here today to talk to you

00:13.340 --> 00:15.210
about surveillance testing.

00:15.210 --> 00:16.870
This is a DoD strategy

00:16.870 --> 00:21.010
to identify asymptomatic
carriers of coronavirus

00:21.010 --> 00:24.830
and potentially stop an
outbreak before it begins.

00:24.830 --> 00:27.670
We're only able to do surveillance testing

00:27.670 --> 00:31.010
on active duty members
and our first responders,

00:31.010 --> 00:33.660
so individuals in each group
and our mission partners

00:33.660 --> 00:36.680
will be randomly selected
about every two weeks

00:36.680 --> 00:39.950
and instructed to report
to their respective clinic

00:39.950 --> 00:41.770
at a specified date and time

00:41.770 --> 00:43.320
in the letter that they'll receive.

00:43.320 --> 00:44.400
For surveillance testing,

00:44.400 --> 00:47.020
we're actually able to use a
different collection method,

00:47.020 --> 00:49.420
and it doesn't take a
whole lotta time to do it.

00:50.300 --> 00:51.940
Because it's surveillance testing,

00:51.940 --> 00:55.703
the results are not gonna
go in the medical record,

00:56.980 --> 00:59.130
so the only time that we're gonna end up

00:59.130 --> 01:03.560
notifying an individual is if
we receive a positive result.

01:03.560 --> 01:07.150
So we're just asking
members to do their part

01:07.150 --> 01:10.200
by participating in the
surveillance testing

01:10.200 --> 01:11.900
and help to protect our community.
