HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah -- Hill AFB youth programs -- child development centers (CDC) East, West, and the youth center -- will reopen March 31 for mission essential personnel only. COVID-19 test results on the staff member and child are negative.
Anyone who was directed on March 29 to quarantine, based on pending results of the COVID-19 tests for the CDC staff member and child, can now stop quarantine.
All families that use the youth programs are being notified of the situation. All facilities have been cleaned in accordance with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and 75th Medical Group guidelines.
As a reminder, health screening will begin in the parking lot of The Landing Community Center. All staff members and children will be medically-screened, prior to access to care at any of our centers. Please stay in your car. The screening process will be a drive-through system, with interviewing and temperature taking occurring with you and your child in the vehicle. At all times, please follow the directions of the screening personnel.
We ask that you keep your children home, if they are sick, until they no longer show any symptoms and are fever-free for 72 hours. Our goal is to take care of you and your family and preserve your health. Thank you for your patience.
