Travis AFB support to HHS, Grand Princess repatriation

The Department of Defense is working with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to support passengers returning to the United States on the Grand Princess cruise ship.

Upon docking, passengers will be medically screened by HHS/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at the port of entry, and only asymptomatic passengers will be transferred to federal military installations for continued COVID-19 screening and a 14-day quarantine.

HHS stated that nearly 1,000 passengers, who are California residents, will likely complete the mandatory quarantine at Travis Air Force Base and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, and residents of other states will likely complete their mandatory quarantine at Joint Base San Antonio Lackland, Texas or Dobbins Air Reserve Base,Georgia.

The final list of DoD locations and the numbers of passengers at each base are still being worked, and we will update this information as soon as the details are finalized.
