Washington The Pentagon is attempting to create a"bubble" around its top two officials, Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Deputy Defense Secretary David Norquist, by keeping them"physically separated" as a precaution against the coronavirus pandemic, a Defense Department spokesperson said Monday.
"Starting today, the secretary and the deputy secretary are remaining physically separated," said Pentagon spokesperson Jonathan Hoffman,"so we are attempting to put a, for lack of a better term, a bubble around the two of them."That means limiting in-person contact between the staffs of the two officials."They and their staffs will only interact via teleconference," Hoffman said.
