Virginia National Guard Soldiers and Airman practice taking COVID-19 test samples during point prevalence sample training May 4, 2020, at the S. Gardner Waller Depot in Richmond, Virginia. The Richmond-based 34th Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and High-Yield Explosives Enhanced Response Force Package conducted the training, which prepares PPS strike teams to take samples from patients at long term care facilities as part of the Commonwealth of Virginia’s response to COVID-19. During domestic operations, the VNG receives mission taskings from the Virginia Department of Emergency Management and can't respond to direct requests for assistance. Localities looking for VNG support should contact VDEM and make a request. Read more about the VNG’s statewide response at go.usa.gov/xvQgp. (U.S. National Guard photo by Mike Vrabel)
