USFK adjusts HPCON Bravo Plus measures to align with ROK policies

USFK Public Affairs

USFK adjusted its Health Protection Condition Bravo Plus mitigation measures to align with existing Republic of Korea policies and have lifted all travel restrictions to Seoul, beginning Thursday, March 24 at 6 a.m. until Thursday, April 21 at 6 a.m.

All other HPCON B+ measures remain in effect.

Authorized off-installation activities include seated dining at restaurants, indoor malls, theaters, amusement parks and festivals, overnight stays, and any other indoor and outdoor activity currently authorized within ROK guidelines.

Due to the continued presence of the COVID virus threat, off-installation bars, clubs, saunas, spas, bathhouses, karaoke establishments and any facility that restricts entry to adults only - regardless of your vaccination status - remain off limits. 

The best preventive measures to remain protected is to maintain an “up-to-date” vaccination status by being fully vaccinated, taking the booster when eligible, adhering to USFK HPCON levels and core tenets, and avoiding South Korean “hotspots” when traveling.

All USFK-affiliated individuals are reminded to adhere to all South Korean rules, directives and laws regarding COVID.

USFK will continue to monitor and assess the COVID environment, and will make additional adjustments to protect the force and our mission.
