Desert Lightning News Nellis-Creech AFB – Digital and Print Publication Serving Nellis AFB, Creech AFB, Las Vegas NV and surrounding communities. An AerotechNews.com Publication. – May 15, 2020
Greetings, everyone, and thanks for checking out the May 15th edition of Nellis & Creech AFB Desert Lightning News! This week, we have coverage of the phased reopening plan for Nellis AFB. The installation closed to all but active duty, dependents and essential workers in early April, when 99th Wing Commander Col. Cavan Craddock declared a Public Health Emergency due to increased numbers of COVID-19 infections on base. Nellis is now phasing out telecommuting for some staff, allowing them to resume work on base. Nellis Air Force Base leadership, including its medical professionals, will continue to monitor and assess the situation at the base and implement phased reopening steps as it is safe to do so.
