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 USFK medical personnel, and he last visited Camp Humphreys on March 30.

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.
 
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.
