Pentagon officials late Friday announced a total domestic travel ban for all troops, civilian personnel and their families until May 11 in an effort to limit their potential exposure to theĀ coronavirus.
In addition, troops will be granted āonly authorized local leaveā for the duration of the travel restrictions, limiting their ability to visit family and friends in far away states.
āThe continuing spread of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) necessitates immediate implementation of travel restrictions for domestic Department of Defense travel,ā the memo announcing the new travel rules stated.
āThese restrictions are necessary to preserve force readiness, limit the continuing spread of the virus, and preserve the health and welfare of service members, DOD civilian employees, their families and the local communities where in which we live.ā
The travel ban goes into effect Monday, March 16.
