At a base in Djibouti, a SDF unit that fights against piracy off the coast of Somalia, about 130 members participated in a social gathering with food and drink after a sporting event last month, after which 21 people went to the new coronavirus. Infection has been confirmed.
According to the Ministry of Defense, seven members of the Air Corps were drinking alcohol in one of their living spaces on the night of the 8th of this month, local time.
It is not known if the seven were wearing masks.
Since the infection of the members was confirmed at this base, drinking under the influence of the facility has been prohibited, and seven people violated the rules.
Also, I was drinking alcohol on the day when Koji Yamazaki, Chief of Staff, Joint Staff, revealed at a press conference about the social gathering last month.
Last month, when four members went out for work, they ate at a restaurant without making the necessary notifications, and two of them were later infected with the new coronavirus, the Ministry of Defense said. It was also revealed that the four people did not wear masks during the meal.
The Ministry of Defense is investigating the detailed situation for each.
