Face coverings/masks are required to be worn in the terminal per federal law. Cloth face masks are available at BNA at no cost (while supplies last). Passengers may request them at airline ticket counters and the North and South Security Checkpoints. BNA also reminds travelers to socially distance and wash/sanitize hands often.

Additionally, BNA President and CEO Doug Kreulen serves on the Governor’s Coronavirus Task Force to enhance Tennessee’s coordinated efforts to prevent, identify and treat potential cases of COVID-19. BNA remains in frequent contact with officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Metro and State Health Departments and relies on the expertise of Dr. Corey Slovis, Medical Director and Chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Vanderbilt University. Dr. Slovis was instrumental in developing BNA’s Communicable Disease Response Plan for Preventing the Introduction, Transmission and Spread of Communicable Diseases into the US.

BNA stands ready to implement any additional operational changes as directed by medical authorities and encourages the public to follow the prevention advice from the CDC such as wearing a face covering, thorough and frequent hand-washing, avoiding contact with anyone who is sick, practicing social distancing and covering nose and mouth when sneezing or coughing.
