All patients, staff, and support personnel with symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath) should be tested for COVID-19 using the available confirmatory diagnostic test.

All persons who test positive need to be moved into isolation and if medical management is required, considered for evacuation to OCONUS or CONUS locations as designated for the evacuation plan per that region (follow the guidance provided in the Transport section of this Playbook).

Command and medical teams are responsible for establishing a plan for patient tracking and re-unification (for family notification of patient status) locally. In accordance with USCENTCOM regulations, local Commanders will include COVID-19 patient tracking as part of their Commander's Critical Information Reporting (CCIR). Patient tracking for the USCENTCOM AOR will be accomplished using SIPR COVID-19 CAT SharePoint/Trackers & Updates/Patient Trackers by Component.
