    Due to a steady rise in COVID-19 outpatient cases and employee 
absences in alignment with the County's High transmission rate. The 
Veterans Health Administration has instituted a new COVID operation 
plan that is currently in effect that defines certain restrictions 
based on transmission levels, to include posters at the GLA facility 
indicating a Red Health Protection Level that requires masking, self-
screening, patient visitation with provider approval and physical 
distancing. Therefore, the VAGLAHS cannot approve non-mission essential 
visitation at this time.
    As previously published in the Federal Register on 05/26/2022 and 
available online at federalregister.gov/d/2022-11297, and on 
govinfo.gov, GLA will support the planned in-person meeting of the 
VCOEB board with the tour and public facing meeting. However, 
additional public personnel will no longer be allowed to attend in-

fashion. The Board will meet in person in the multipurpose room. Board 
members should be vaccinated or have evidence of a negative test before 
coming into the hospital (basic requirements for all visitation). The
