# DLA Aviation Press Release 2020-03-18-001: COVID-19 Response from the DLA Aviation Commander for Defense Supply Center Richmond

By DLA Aviation Public Affairs Office

                Defense Supply Center Richmond, Va.  –              
Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is currently maximizing telework for our telework eligible workforce while avoiding mission degradation. Social distancing and avoiding large gatherings are being utilized to minimize the spread of COVID-19 on DSCR.

We continue to follow guidance from U.S. Northern Command and DLA Headquarters regarding our security posture.  In the area of sanitation and facility cleanliness we are following and adhering to all current Department of Defense, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other applicable guidelines regarding COVID-19. 

DLA Installation Management Richmond’s custodial staff have increased their focus on cleaning the fitness center, bathrooms, common areas, doorknobs, handrails, and ensuring the availability of soap and paper towels in all our facilities.  Our cafeteria staff continues to follow guidelines for cleanliness and food preparation.

While DLA Aviation is the biggest organization on DSCR, there are multiple other DLA and non-DLA organizations on center that utilize programs and services provided by DLA Installation Management Richmond that may be affected. 

We will continue to monitor our programs and make changes as needed with as much advance notice as possible for planning. The following highlights continued services and any impacts.
