DVIDS - News - National Guard and Army Reservists Step Up to Help Passengers Meet Testing Requirement

1 ((Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba)) When Cindy Wilkerson (Capt., USN Ret.), Assistant Dept. Head and Quality Manager for the Laboratory Dept., US Navy Medical Readiness and Training Command Guantanamo Bay (US NMRTC GB), first learned that COVID-19 testing may be required for passengers leaving the installation, she was concerned. “There was no way we had the staff to collect that many or a location to collect as many samples needed to meet the mandate for everyone flying ‘Space-A’ or on non-funded orders, in such a short time-frame.” That was almost five months and more than 600 COVID-19 tests ago. With the help of National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve Medics, passengers leaving Guantanamo Bay who are required to show proof of testing negative for COVID-19, have been able to get the test the day before departing.
