USFK Employee Confirmed with COVID-19

By USFK Public Affairs

 

A USFK Korean National employee tested positive for COVID-19, making this the seventh USFK-related personnel to be confirmed with the virus.

 

The employee is currently in isolation at her off-base residence in Asan as directed by KCDC.

 

KCDC and USFK health professionals are actively conducting contact tracing to determine whether anyone else may have been exposed.

 

USFK remains at risk level “high” peninsula-wide and is implementing all appropriate control measures to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 as a prudent measure to protect the force.
