USFK said today (13th) that 11 corona19 confirmed were added.

One on the first day, two on the second day, five on the fourth day, and then nine on the last Friday, up to 11 today. It's only 35 people this month.


The surge in U.S. forces in Korea seems to be in the wake of the recent US pandemic.

Since the first confirmation on February 24th, there have been about 70 U.S.FK cumulative confirmed cases, half of which increased this month.

In particular, if it has been a domestic infection in the meantime, all 35 confirmed cases in July are cases of foreign influx.

It is said that they got on a flight to Korea in an infected state. Today, 11 people were added, two of them entered the Osan Airfield by military aircraft, and nine of them entered Incheon Airport by private flights.

The USFK explained that, like other overseas immigrants, it is conducting procedures such as fever inspection and questionnaire preparation before boarding, and separate transportation, PCR inspection, and quarantine measures after entry.

However, Pyeongtaek City, where the USFK base is located, decided to request the government to submit a PCR test'Voice Verification' upon arrival.

It is also intended to apply to the USFK-related personnel who are currently obliged to submit a voice verification obligation that applies to Bangladesh and Kazakhstan.

After our health authorities have reviewed the countermeasures, they are expected to proceed with the US government.
