According to MARADMIN 218/20, cloth face coverings shall be worn by all individuals on Marine Corps property, installations, and facilities when they cannot maintain six feet of social distance. The order also states that cloth face covers shall NOT be substituted with surgical masks or N-95 respirators. In response to this guidance, LOGCOM has acquired and issued cloth face coverings to all LOGCOM personnel. If you have not received one or are unware of this requirement, please contact your supervisor. The CDC explains that COVID-19 mainly spreads from person-to-person through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, talks, or raises their voice. Wearing a cloth face cover in public settings can reduce the spread of COVID-19 when six feet social distancing measures are hard to maintain.
