Thank you, my friend TSgt Joe C. for posting the update. Being stationed in the Pentagon since 1995 through 2008 in uniform and through 2012 a consultant I am very familiar with many of the changes post 9-11-2001.
"The U.S. Department of Defense closed off many of its entrances at the Pentagon and raised the health protection condition (HPCON) for the building on Monday in response to growing concerns about the coronavirus.
The HPCON has been raised to CHARLIE, indicating more strict screening measures, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Monday in a press briefing. The decision immediately limited Pentagon access points and changed some employees over to telework conditions. Esper said the protective measures could grow to include temperature testing of all people who come into the building.
Eight of the Pentagon’s entrances were closed, according to a Pentagon readout of the decision, including: The Metro Entrance Facility, Visitor Screening Facility, Corridor 5 Entrance, Library & Conference Center, Pentagon Athletic Center Entrance, Mall Vehicle Annex Access Point, Memorial Gate Vehicle Access Point, River Pedestrian Booth (Press/Overflow Parking).
Ten more of the building’s entrance points will remain open."
