Hello , I'm Brigadier General Jason

00:02.470 --> 00:04.526
Woodward , the commanding general of

00:04.526 --> 00:06.692
Marine Corps installations West Marine

00:06.692 --> 00:08.803
Corps Base camp Pendleton . As we all

00:08.803 --> 00:10.692
know cases of the coronavirus are

00:10.692 --> 00:13.100
spiking as a new delta variant has a

00:13.100 --> 00:15.570
viral load 100 times greater than that

00:15.570 --> 00:17.830
of previous variance and spreads at a

00:17.830 --> 00:20.140
much faster rate than the original

00:20.150 --> 00:23.540
covid . 19 In San Diego County alone ,

00:23.550 --> 00:26.490
cases have risen by 82% over the last

00:26.490 --> 00:29.810
week , 98% of hospital admissions are

00:29.810 --> 00:32.060
among the unvaccinated . The longer we

00:32.060 --> 00:34.370
allow coronavirus too easily spread ,

00:34.510 --> 00:36.800
the more opportunities it has to mutate

00:36.810 --> 00:39.088
and continue to impact our way of life .

00:39.340 --> 00:41.451
This is why it is more important than

00:41.451 --> 00:43.562
ever for every able person to receive

00:43.562 --> 00:45.940
their vaccination . Any of the approved

00:45.940 --> 00:48.330
vaccines reduce the risk not only for

00:48.330 --> 00:50.219
you , but for all , including our

00:50.219 --> 00:52.219
friends and family . As a result of

00:52.219 --> 00:54.500
this increase . I in consultation with

00:54.500 --> 00:57.000
the one meF CG have made the decision

00:57.000 --> 00:58.722
to move into health protection

00:58.722 --> 01:00.833
condition bravo . What does this mean

01:00.833 --> 01:03.740
to you ? As cases rise and we start to

01:03.740 --> 01:05.960
put more restrictions into place .

01:05.970 --> 01:08.610
Getting vaccinated and wearing a mask

01:08.610 --> 01:11.220
are only pathways for installations to

01:11.220 --> 01:13.840
return to normalcy . We require every

01:13.840 --> 01:16.130
marine sailor and civilian a border

01:16.130 --> 01:18.190
installations to wear a mask when

01:18.190 --> 01:20.357
appropriate , and to strongly consider

01:20.357 --> 01:22.600
getting the vaccine When we fight , we

01:22.600 --> 01:24.910
fight together and this is a fight that

01:24.910 --> 01:27.650
we can win together . Yeah .

01:29.240 --> 01:29.450
Mhm .
