Military personnel have played a major role in the nation’s COVID-19 response, assisting states and communities as they help to move supplies where needed, set up field hospitals in arenas and provided beds for patients aboard the USNS Mercy in Los Angeles.
This has required military personnel to move quickly, whether relocating for an extended period or a short stay, for COVID-19 response or typical military movement.
Hotel owners and operators have beefed up cleaning procedures, including work with an industrial hygienist to develop a COVID-19 mitigation program, converting how food and drinks are delivered, and updating staff training and procedures that now include mandated handwashing, wearing gloves and masks, and temperature checks for all staff.
