Naval Air Station Oceana

Important information below.

In the coming days and weeks, it is important to emphasize that NAS Oceana and Dam Neck Annex are required to follow DOD and US Navy COVID-19 health protection protocols. As a result, there will be periods where the installation will not follow the reopening guidance and direction taken by the Commonwealth of Virginia and the City of Virginia Beach. Rather, the installation and its plan for reopening facilities and services (to include the Dam Neck Annex beach for leisure activities) fall under the constraints of Navy policies, orders, and direction which is designed to preserve our Naval forces, combat capability, and to ensure the health and safety of our civilian workforce.

We will continue to update our FB page as conditions and policy change. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we move forward.

Please note new gate entry procedures:

Installations will begin implementing new procedures to scan access cards without the gate sentry physically handling the credential (ID).

Patrons will be asked to present their credential in a manner that the barcode (on the back of the ID) is facing the sentry for electronic verification using the scanner.

This may cause some delays during peak times.

An important message from Naval Medical Center Portsmouth.

First and Finest,
For clarification, we are not conducting COVID-19 testing at entrances to the hospital. We are asking the following screening questions to determine the best course of care and reduce the risk of exposure for everyone during this COVID-19 outbreak:
1. Do you have a fever, cough or difficulty breathing?
2. Have you traveled from or through Italy, China, Iran, South Korea or Europe within the past 14 days?
3. Have you been in direct contact with someone who was diagnosed with coronavirus?

If individuals answer yes to these questions, you will be given a mask and directed to the Emergency Room for further evaluation for your safety and the safety of others.

Reminder for all of you: We ask if anyone has any concerns about exposure to COVID-19 AND symptoms of fever, cough or difficulty breathing - IMMEDIATELY call the NMCP COVID-19 Call Center at 757-953-6200 prior to entering NMCP compound and/or entering any NMCP entrance or proceed directly to the Emergency Room.

Thank you in advance for your patience and flexibility. We will continue to provide updates on our social media platforms in regards to COVID-19.
