Pentagon police shut down a building entrance and a portion of the south parking lot Friday because a woman was sick and told emergency personnel she had recently been to West Africa, officials said.
Lobbyist Terry Thames was named by her company Total Spectrum today, as the woman who vomited while she was commuting on a Metro bus shortly after 9am on Friday.
The woman told first responders she had been in Liberia two weeks ago, according to Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Tom Crosson. She was taken to a hospital in Fairfax County, Virginia and was quarantined.
However a employee at her company insisted today that Ms Thames had not traveled to West Africa.
