  • COVID-19 Travel Restrictions Installation Status Update
    As of May 17, 2021 COVID-19 Travel Restrictions Installation Status Update Criteria for Lifting Travel Restrictions Step 1: Meet Installation Criteria (No Travel Restrictions, HPCON below Charlie, Essential Services Available, Quality Assurance in place for Movers) Step 2: Director of Administration and Management (DA&M), the Secretary of a Military Department, or a Combatant Commander approve lifting travel restrictions for an installation Step 1 criteria must be met before travel restrictions can be lifted for an installation by the DA&M, the Secretary of a Military Department, or a Combatant Commander. If installation conditions are subsequently not met, the approval authority decides if travel restrictions should be reinstated.
