USFK Contractor Confirmed with COVID-19

By USFK Public Affairs

 
A USFK contractor, who works at Camp Humphreys, tested positive for COVID-19 today.
 
The contractor, who is a U.S. citizen, is currently in isolation at his off-base residence as directed by KCDC, and he last visited Camp Humphreys on March 27.
 
KCDC and USFK are actively conducting contact tracing to determine whether anyone else may have been exposed.
 
As a precautionary measure to protect the force as Camp Humphreys continues contact tracing of its recent confirmed COVID cases, HPCON C+ will remain in effect on Camp Humphreys through at least Thursday.
 
USFK remains at risk level “high” peninsula-wide and is implementing all appropriate control measures, including a declared Public Health Emergency on March 25, as prudent decisions to protect the force and stop the spread of COVID-19.
 
Additional information will be provided by USFK as it becomes available.
