All associates are required to follow the AAFES COVID-19 POSITIVE and POTENTIAL ON-DUTY EXPOSURE – Standard Operating Procedures. 

All Exchange personnel traveling to the Express Seminar must follow the General Travel Guidelines. 

A Risk assessment is required before official travel not more than 14 days prior to travel. The risk assessment will include how to self-monitor, and what actions to take if he/she develops signs or symptoms consistent with COVID-19 or contracts COVID-19.

• Whether the individual has exhibited any signs or symptoms consistent with COVID-19 within the previous 14 days
• Whether the individual has had close contact with anyone having or known to have exhibited signs or symptoms consistent with COVID-19, or who has tested positive for COVID-19 within the previous 14 days
• Whether the individual has recently recovered from COVID-19 and if so, when and if they have documentation of a positive test and documentation of recovery from a healthcare provider.
• Whether the individual is fully vaccinated and if so, when and whether they have proof of vaccination (CDC vaccination card or other medical documentation)
• Whether the individual has traveled to a country, state, territory, county or city with high or increasing risk of COVID-19 as defined by the CDC in Travel Health Notices.

No associates should travel if they have tested positive for COVID-19 and have not yet met the criteria for discontinuing isolation, they are symptomatic, or they are pending additional COVID-19 test results.  

Travel should be delayed, if, in the past 14 days, an associate has been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for, and/or been symptomatic of, COVID-19 and requires self-quarantine, unless the associate has been exempted based on prior COVID-19 infection or prior completion of COVID-19 vaccination (is fully vaccinated).

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. It is especially important to wash your hands:

• before eating or preparing food
• before touching your face
• after using the restroom
• after leaving a public place
• after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing
• after handling your mask

If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry. Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the Rosen Centre Hotel and throughout the Express Seminar Registration, and Exhibit Hall and General Session entrances/exits.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.

Always cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, or use the inside of your elbow and do not spit. Throw used tissues in the trash. Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer that is at least 60% alcohol.

If you are wearing a mask, you can cough or sneeze into your mask. Put on a clean mask as soon as possible and wash your hands.

Close Contact: Someone who was less than 6 feet away from an infected person (laboratory-confirmed or a clinical diagnosis) for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period (for example, three individual 5-minute exposures for a total of 15 minutes). 

Exposure: Contact with someone infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in a way that increases the likelihood of getting infected with the virus.
