Pentagon: Stop-movement order to remain in effect, unless local conditions at bases meet criteria for travel

[Tony]

WASHINGTON — The Defense Department announced its stop-movement order will remain in place indefinitely, though some bases could meet new phased-in guidelines as early as Tuesday to allow travel for military personnel and their families.

A memorandum issued by Defense Secretary Mark Esper dated May 22 states he has canceled the prior travel guidance that went into effect April 20, which was expected to end June 30. He extended the travel restrictions for all government travel of personnel and their families indefinitely unless locations meet specific criteria to allow travel to resume. https://www.stripes.com/news/us/pentagon-stop-movement-order-to-remain-in-effect-unless-local-conditions-at-bases-meet-criteria-for-travel-1.631275
