F.P. Report
WASHINGTON: The Pentagon Reservation will move to Health Protection Condition Bravo effective immediately due to a significant decrease in COVID-19 cases and positive test cases in the National Capital Region over the past two weeks. Both Armed Forces Retirement Home campuses, in Washington, D.C., and Gulfport, Mississippi, will transition HPCON Bravo Plus.
Additionally, in accordance with new guidance from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the current CDC COVID-19 community levels for Arlington County and the City of Alexandria, Virginia, designated as “low,” masks are not required indoors in the Pentagon Reservation for fully vaccinated or unvaccinated military, civilian employees, on-site contractors, or visitors.
Pentagon Reservation facilities not in Arlington County or the City of Alexandria, Virginia, will follow the CDC COVID-I9 community levels for the particular county where the DoD facility is located. Individuals may wear a mask in they choose regardless of COVID-19 community level. All personnel, regardless of vaccination status, will be required to wear a mask indoors if the COVID-19 community level rises to “high.”
The Secretary of Defense’s number one priority during the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be protecting our workforce while performing our national security mission. Supervisors will continue to provide maximum telework opportunities and flexible scheduling to optimize the workforce while defending our nation, taking care of our people, and ensuring success through teamwork.
When local communities that are home to Pentagon Reservation facilities are at either “medium” or “high” COVID-I9 community level, onsite DoD contractor personnel, official visitors, and personnel with Pentagon Facility Alternate Credentials, will complete DD Form 3150, “Contractor and Visitor Certification of Vaccination,” maintain a current copy, and show it to authorized DoD personnel upon request. Visitors who are not fully vaccinated against COVID-l9, or who decline to volunteer their COVID-19 vaccination status, must show an electronic or paper copy of negative results from a U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized or approved COVID-19 test administered no earlier than 72 hours prior to their visit.
With the change to HPCON Bravo, some of the measures that will be in effect include:
COVID-19 vaccinations, including booster shots, remain available through the DiLorenzo Pentagon Health Clinic. Symptomatic testing for those who become ill in the workplace remains available through DiLorenzo Pentagon Health Clinic; employees who feel ill before coming to the workplace should stay home and get tested through their primary care physician or local pharmacy.
DOD remains committed to protecting our people, maintaining mission readiness, and supporting the whole-of-government effort response to COVID-19. We are continually emphasizing to our people the requirement to get fully vaccinated for COVID-19, and encouraging everyone eligible to get a booster shot and take actions to protect themselves and those around them by employing protective measures, including practicing good hand washing, social distancing, wearing tight-fitting face coverings, and taking appropriate actions if feeling sick now. These can dramatically decrease the risk of infection and slow COVID-19’s spread.
