Increased Covid Restrictions on Pentagon Reservation 29 December

The Pentagon Reservation remains at Health Protection Condition (HPCON) Bravo Plus (Bravo +). However, as we have seen an increase in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and positive test results in the National Capitol Region in recent weeks, the Director of Administration and Management (DA&M) is implementing a few additional mitigation measures on the Pentagon Reservation to protect the workforce, their families, our communities, and our support to the no-fail mission of the Department of Defense. These include:

• Supervisors and managers should strongly encourage their workforce to maximize telework, where the mission permits, through the end of January 2022;
• Official visitors will be limited to the minimum required for mission critical meetings;
• The Pentagon Reservation will be closed to unofficial visitors through the end of January 2022;
• Organizations are expected to maintain occupancy rates at less than 40% of normal occupancy, subject to exceptions approved by DA&M.

Additionally,

• All DoD personnel and eligible family members are strongly encouraged to receive the booster dose to protect themselves against COVID-19;
• DoD personnel are encouraged to consider using an FDA-approved COVID-19 home test kit upon return from the Federal holiday period prior to returning to the workplace;
