原文：

Mock PFAs, which weren't allowed during the spring cycle, must meet a host of guidelines to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Those rules, which require temperature checks, disinfection measures and limits on the number of people involved in the assessment, are detailed in a new Navy administrative message.

The Navy has struggled with some of the military's highest rates of COVID-19 cases in the ranks, due in part to virus outbreaks on multiple deployed ships. Now, several states, including some with a big Navy presence such as California and Florida, have seen huge increases in cases over the last two weeks.

COVID-19 is still a problem, Nowell said. PFAs will pick back up next year, but the decision to cancel them during the pandemic shouldn't be seen as an excuse to quit exercising.

中譯：

春季體測尚未開放的模擬體適能鑑測，必須符合各項防疫指導，俾利防範COVID-19病毒擴散。該等規定對體溫量測、消毒措施及體測人數限制的要求，在海軍最新發布的行政通報中，均有詳細律定。

海軍一直忙於處理所屬基層部隊中，該病毒確診率最高的單位，其中包括多艘執行部署任務時爆發疫情的軍艦。目前，包括加州及佛州等擁有海軍重兵的幾個州，最近兩週的確診病例，都有大幅增加的情形。

諾威爾表示，該病毒仍是個問題，體適能鑑測預於明年恢復，惟疫情期間取消體測的決定，不應被當成不去運動的藉口。
