The Marine Corps has ended the mandatory 14-day quarantine recruits had to complete before starting boot camp.
In the end of March 2020, breakouts of the potentially deadly COVID-19 at recruit training caused Parris Island, South Carolina, to temporarily stop receiving new recruits for a short period of time. While at San Diego, recruit shipping numbers were cut in half for April 2020.
In an effort to resume normal shipping numbers and prevent any future breakouts, the Corps introduced a two-week quarantine period in April 2020, along with mask requirements and increased social distancing. Now, the quarantine period has been dropped.
