#BREAKING: Naval installations in #HamptonRoads were ordered to move to Health Protection Condition (HPCON) Level Bravo + today following a sustained downward trend in #coronavirus cases in the local community.

The change means that occupancy levels in work spaces onboard installations must be less than 40% of their normal capacity, compared with a capacity of less than 25% in HPCON Charlie.

In HPCON Bravo +, social gatherings for unvaccinated personnel are also no longer limited to 10 people. Unvaccinated personnel can also leave their homes for non-essential activities in HPCON Bravo +.

Other restrictions will remain in place. Access to installations by visitors may still be limited and indoor common areas and large venues may still be closed. Gyms may also operate at diminished occupancy.

All service members, civilians, contractors and visitors also must continue wearing masks while indoors on all military installations regardless of vaccination status.

Read the press release below for more information.

If you recognize any of the warning signs, it may be an indication that your relationship is abusive.

In 1981, the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) created a Day of Unity, designed to increase awareness of domestic violence. The movement to expand awareness grew, and in 1987 became a month-long observance. In 1989, Congress formally declared October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Through prevention, Navy leaders can promote family resilience and sailor mission readiness. Therefore, knowing how to prevent abuse and respond to reports of abuse is crucial to mission readiness.

Domestic violence affects people of all races, ages, religions, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientation, and social economic status.

If you or someone you know is victim of domestic violence, you can contact Military OneSource at 1-800-342-9647.

You may also contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.
