Direct Line NAS Sigonella Commanding Officer Capt. Kevin Pickard

T

eam Sigonella, During the virtual town hall yesterday, we talked about the likelihood of changing local guidance with respect to COVID-19, and within the last 24 hours, the guidance has changed. Last night, the governor of Sicily signed into effect additional restrictions that apply effective immediately. I will shortly release another email highlighting the specific changes directed by the government of Sicily. But I would first like to address the specific changes and guidance you will see here at NAS Sigonella.

Out of respect for our host nation and the region of Sicily, we are asking our community to follow the decree to the maximum extent possible. I understand this will further impact our lives, but I ask for your cooperation in the spirit of shared sacrifice and community. As American service members, we must continue to do our part and stand in solidarity with our Italian friends and neighbors.

First, let’s address the new Sicilian decree and how it impacts life onboard NAS Sigonella. You should only be leaving your home for three reasons: to go to and from work, to take care of medical needs, or for a situation of necessity (purchasing food, gasoline, pet supplies, banking needs, post office, laundry, etc.). If you are off-base, failing to abide by these travel restrictions can result in criminal charges and a mandatory 14 day isolation imposed by Italian authorities.

Additionally, we ask that parents ensure that their children do not congregate at this time per the new guidance. Playgrounds, the skate park, the basketball courts, the soccer fields, and the gazebos are closed until further notice.

Regarding exercise around base, I can provide some clarity for you here. As a military force, in order to maintain mission readiness we will allow exercise on a limited basis. • NAS II- There is no individual outdoor PT allowed. • NAS I and Marinai - Men and

women to individually go for runs / walks on the base while adhering to social distancing.

These policies will be enforced. If our Security personnel approach you to remind you of our guidelines, please be polite and respectful. They are doing their jobs and protecting our community.

If you have any questions, please send them in to the NAS Sigonella Facebook page or to me.

Next, I want to address our necessity of life stores. The Commissary is open and doing a great job. BZ to our Commissary team for implementing social distancing policies and for keeping the shelves stocked. The NEX is also doing a fantastic job, and will be respecting the Italian decrees by only selling essential items. These items include: Food/ Beverages (including wine/spirits/ beer), tobacco, electronics, household appliances, hardware and automotive supplies, house hold cleaning and laundry products, stationary and craft supplies, books, magazines and other periodicals, pharmacies to include nonprescription medicines, medical and orthopedic items, health and beauty aids to include toiletries and personal hygiene products, pet supplies, fuel for domestic use and heating to include propane and charcoal, uniforms, sports nutrition and light home fitness needs.

The Sicilian decree will impact our NEX/Commissary since it requires all non-essential stores, including grocery stores, to close on Sundays. In order to align as closely as possible, our NEX and commissary, to include the NAS II minimart will be closed on Sunday. This will go into effect immediately, beginning Sunday, March 22. We have explored the possibility of opening our Commissary on Monday, but unfortunately in an effort to maintain minimum manning and ensure the shelves remain fully stocked, they will remain closed on Mondays.

Last point regarding the NEX and Commissary, the Sicilian decree specifically states that if you are driving to a necessity of life location that only one member of the family can make one trip per day. I understand there may be

extenuating circumstances, but I ask that you abide by the spirit of the decree to the maximum extent possible by sending one person to the store at a time. If your specific situation does not allow you to follow the decree, please keep your children close to you and respectful of social distancing requirements while conducting necessity of life business.

Remember, these restrictions have been put in place to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus and they benefit Italy and our Sigonella community.

Please be patient as we balance respecting the Italian decrees with maintaining operational and mission readiness and the health and safety of all personnel and their families.

I understand some may have questions about this guidance so I ask that you continue to ask my team questions, whether through our official Facebook page or email. Thank you for your patience as we work around the clock to provide you with the most up-to-date answers and direction.

Although we are in extraordinary times which require extraordinary measures, I am immensely proud of each and every one of you. I fully recognize that none of this is easy.

Thank you for pulling together to keep our mission going. Please be kind to each other and try to stay positive as we work through this together.

TEMPORARY RELAXATION OF HAIR GROOMING STANDARDS IN RESPONSE TO CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK NAVADMIN 073/20 U.S. NAVY UNIFORM REGULATIONS 1. This NAVADMIN announces the temporary relaxation of male and female hair length grooming standards to minimize Sailors’ exposure to COVID-19 and adhere to social distancing requirements.

Due to COVID-19 force health protection measures maximizing social distancing, commanding officers (CO) are authorized to relax the Navy hair length grooming standards outlined in reference (a) for Sailors assigned to their command.

Coping with stress during the 2019-nCoV outbreak It is normal to feel sad, stressed, confused, scared or angry during a crisis.

Talking to people you trust can help. Contact your friends and family.

If you must stay at home, maintain a healthy lifestyle including proper diet, sleep, exercise and social contacts with loved ones at home and by email and phone with other family and friends.

Don’t use smoking, alcohol or other drugs to deal with your emotions.

If you feel overwhelmed, talk to a health worker or counsellor. Have a plan, where to go to and how to seek help for physical and mental health needs if required.

Get the facts. Gather information that will help you accurately determine your risk so that you can take reasonable precautions. Find a credible source you can trust such as WHO website or, a local or state public health agency.

Limit worry and agitation by lessening the time you and your family spend watching or listening to media coverage that you perceive as upsetting.

Draw on skills you have used in the past that have helped you to manage previous life’s adversities and use those skills to help you manage your emotions during the challenging time of this outbreak.

Good and bad things happen. It’s okay if you feel sad, mad, happy or confused. Grown-ups sometimes feel this way, too.
