TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. -- For July 31, Tinker AFB remains in HPCON Bravo Plus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The latest organizations and buildings where cases have occurred include the 552 ACW (B230, B282), 507 ARW (B1047) and OC-ALC (B9001).

As we continue our important missions in this pandemic environment, Team Tinker members have done well adhering to CDC guidance and the installation's policies on work and public gatherings. While new COVID-19 cases across the nation continue to rise significantly, Tinker has experienced a declining trend in average new cases per day. Cases have gone down every day for 11 consecutive days. This is outstanding news. However, we know how fast these trends can change. The current trend is only possible because you and your teammates and family members have complied with CDC guidance and Tinker's policies. Keep it up!
Starting today, Team Tinker’s daily COVID-19 update will no longer report individual cases due to OPSEC considerations and guidance from the Secretary of Defense. However, the update will continue to identify organizations and buildings where cases have occurred in order to provide the daily transparency to help you and your family manage risks.
