U.S. Secretary of Defense delays visit to India, March 11 6:23 due to new virus
Following the spread of the new coronavirus, the U.S. Department of Defense on Tuesday revealed that Secretary of Defense Esper had postponed its planned visits to India, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan.
Pentagon spokesman Hoffman said at the press conference that the decision was made to postpone the delay, saying that Esper needed to deal with the new coronavirus in the U.S. along with related agencies in the U.S., as well as from staff and reporters accompanying him. He explained that, if a person was found, it was necessary to take quarantine away from home.
The U.S. military has been confirmed to have infected three soldiers, both domestic and foreign, but has also stopped working in Europe, assuming that the commander and several staff of the Army stationed in Europe may have been infected. And continue to follow up.
The Pentagon is increasingly cautious about the potential for more infected people in the future.
