Afghan Evacuees Receive Covid-19 Testing Upon Arrival at Fort Bliss

Afghan evacuees arriving in Fort Bliss near El Paso, Texas, can be seen receiving COVID testing from army personnel in footage posted on September 16.

As part of the ongoing Operation Allies Welcome, Fort Bliss has turned the Dona Ana Range Complex into a village to provide security and safety to those arriving from Afghanistan.

Arrivals over the age of five were tested for the virus upon entry, with their results issued within 15 minutes. Those with a positive test are then be sent for isolation. Credit: SPC Khalan Moore via Storyful
