The Pentagon on Friday closed off a parking lot and one entrance as a precaution after a woman who had returned from Africa recently vomited outside the building, prompting fears of the spread of the Ebola virus. Pentagon police officers at 9:10 am local time (1310 GMT) spotted a woman in a parking lot "who was ill and vomiting," the Defense Department said in a statement. "During the response, the individual indicated that she had recently visited Africa," it said."Out of an abundance of caution, all pedestrian and vehicular traffic was suspended around the South Parking lot," and one entrance to the sprawling office building was also closed, it said.
