News Release and Social Media Post on reopening of USACE recreation areas
For your situational awareness, the attached news release announcing the gradual reopening of USACE recreation areas was distributed to the media this afternoon.

The status of USACE-managed campgrounds, boat ramps and swimming beaches and other sites is now available at this web link https://corpslakes.erdc.dren.mil/visitors/status.cfm.

The following information will be posted soon to HQ social media sites -- "USACE has begun the gradual reopening of USACE-managed recreation areas that were closed due to coronavirus precautions. Reopening of closed areas will vary from location to location based on state and local conditions, as well as each project's ability to put in place COVID-19 safety considerations to protect USACE personnel, contractors, volunteers and visitors. We encourage visitors to contact USACE lake and river projects before visiting to ensure recreation areas are open. The status of USACE-managed campgrounds, boat ramps and swimming beaches and other sites is available at https://corpslakes.erdc.dren.mil/visitors/status.cfm. Visitors are advised that individual USACE recreation areas may be closed again if it is determined that COVID-19 safety precautions are not being followed and the public could be put at risk as a result. Please help us keep the recreation sites open by recreating responsibly and please wear your life jacket."

We are also working on a Strongpoint that we hope to have finalized soon.
