In the aftermath of the spread of Corona 19, the vacation and outings of former military personnel are controlled from tomorrow (27th) to the 7th of the following month.
The Ministry of Defense said it would upgrade the'distance within the army' to 2.5 levels for all units from the 26th to the 7th of next month.
The vacation and outings of soldiers before the period are temporarily suspended (vacation is suspended from the 27th), and executives must postpone or cancel private meetings and dinners.
In addition, it was decided to control the golf of former soldiers and military personnel, stop face-to-face religious activities, and switch to online non-face-to-face religious activities.
In principle, the invitation of external instructors for education and training is also prohibited.
The Ministry of National Defense said that training focused on individuals and teams without external personnel will be carried out with thorough quarantine measures in place.
These measures are due to the outbreak of COVID-19 group infection at the Yeoncheon Recruitment Education Battalion, Gyeonggi-do.
As of this morning, at least 70 people, including 66 trainees, were tested positive for Corona 19.
The Ministry of Defense stressed, "We have seriously recognized the reality of large-scale group infections with asymptomatic infections, and decided to take preemptive and intensive measures to block the spread of infections in the military.
