One additional Corona19 confirmed from a unit in the Fortune Army, Gyeonggi-do, and three more confirmed yesterday.

The first confirmed soldier was a caterer who had been on vacation in Daegu from the 10th to the 14th, and was severely coughed on the 21st.

The troops quarantined 10 fellow soldiers who had close contact with the soldiers and carried out a diagnostic test. Three confirmed yesterday.

This is the first case of corona 19 infection in a troop.

An officer from the Pohang Marine Corps was also confirmed yesterday.

It is presumed that you have been infected while in contact with a construction worker who has been identified as a confirmed person.

As a result, the number of confirmed soldiers in the military has reached 10, including nine active duty members and one military officer.

As the number of confirmed patients increased and the infection in the unit was confirmed, the Defense Ministry quarantined 6,400 active service personnel who visited Daegu, Gyeongbuk, Yeongcheon, and Qingdao.

However, it is impossible to segregate one person, one room in a unit, so there are virtually 10 groups of people in a dormitory.

Nonsan Training Center has 298 trainees from Daegu and Gyeongbuk, 31 of whom are suspicious but with the addition of partitions, they are living with about 10 people.

The military said today that it will postpone enlistment from Daegu and Qingdao.

We will also suspend a national military service for two weeks.
