RMKS/1.  This ALNAV provides an update and guidance to Department of the Navy
(DON) personnel and commands on the COVID-19 outbreak on domestic travel 
restrictions and is subject to additional guidance provided by the Office of 
the Secretary of Defense (OSD) regarding continental United States and its 
territories.  Anticipate modifications to this policy over the next several 
weeks as additional information becomes available.  The COVID-19 outbreak 
continues, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 
reporting sustained community spread in the United States.

2.  Effective 16 March 2020 through 11 May 2020, all DON personnel and their 
families, including, active, reserve, civilian, and foreign military under 
DON authority assigned to Department of Defense (DoD) installations, 
facilities, and surrounding areas in the United States and its territories 
shall comply with this guidance to mitigate the risk of further transmission 
of COVID-19.  Our priority is to ensure the welfare and safety of DON 
personnel and their families, and to ensure mission readiness and success.

3.  Official and Personal Travel:
    a.  DON Military Personnel:  All DON military personnel will stop 
movement until 11 May 2020.  Stop movement means to hold in place, this 
includes Permanent Change of Station (PCS) and Temporary Duty (TAD/TDY). Only 
local leave is authorized. Local leave for military members will be in 
accordance with Service policy, which may be informed by local community 
conditions.
    b.  DON Civilian Employees:  All DON civilian employees, whose 
transportation is government-funded, will stop movement. DON civilian 
employees are strongly encouraged to avoid personal leave outside the local 
area. Upon return from approved leave outside the local area, DON civilian 
employees may be asked to telework or exercise leave options as appropriate.
DON may continue hiring actions, but may only onboard civilian employees in 
the local commuting area.
    c.  DON Family Members:  All DON family members, whose transportation is 
government-funded, will stop movement.
d.  Authority to Waive Policy:  Waiver authority of the policies delineated 
in this guidance, when mission critical, is delegated to the Commandant of 
the Marine Corps (CMC) and Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), or their 
designees but not below the level of General Officer, Flag Officer, or Senior 
Executive Service member for approval.
    e.  Retiring or Separating Service Members:  These restrictions do not 
apply to retiring or separating Service Members who are exempt from this 
policy.
f.  Exceptions: Travel by patients and medical providers for the purpose of 
medical treatment for DON personnel and their family members is authorized.  
Individuals who have already initiated travel (including intermediate stops) 
are authorized to continue to their final destination.
Individuals whose TAD or TDY ends while this guidance is in effect are 
authorized to return to their home station.
    g.  Waivers:  Waivers may be granted, by waiver authority, for compelling 
cases where the travel is:  (1) determined to be mission essential; (2) 
necessary for humanitarian reasons; and (3) warranted due to extreme 
hardship. Waivers are to be done on a case-by-case basis, shall be limited in 
number, and shall be coordinated between the gaining and losing 
organizations.

4.  Released by the Honorable Thomas B. Modly, Acting Secretary of the 
Navy.//
