Anyone on Department of Defense property, installations or facilities must wear a cloth face covering when they cannot maintain 6 feet of social distance in public area or work centers, according to a new directive released Sunday afternoon.
As an interim measure, individuals are encouraged to make face coverings from household items or common materials, such as clean T-shirts or other clean cloths that can cover the nose and mouth, according to the DOD memo.Any exceptions to this new guidance must be approved by local commanders and submitted up the chain of command for awareness.

I have full faith and confidence in him, in the Navy leadership and I support their decision," Esper said on ABC's"This Week" Sunday, telling Stephanopoulos that it was the Navy secretary who made the call to fire Capt. Brett Crozier, the commanding officer on the USS Theodore Roosevelt.
— This Week April 5, 2020 The Washington Post reported Saturday that Modly said the president wanted Crozier fired. "The Javits Center will become a 2,500-bed hospital. It will be the largest hospital in the United States and it will be run by the United States military," Esper said Sunday.
