A USFK service member stationed at United States Army Garrison - Humphreys tested positive for COVID-19 on March 11.

The Soldier tested positive after providing a screening sample as part of USFK's enhanced surveillance testing program.

The Soldier last visited USAG - Humphreys on March 11, and is currently in isolation at a USAG - Humphreys facility designated for confirmed COVID-19 cases.

KDCA and USFK health professionals are actively conducting contact tracing to determine whether anyone else may have been exposed to this individual, and to identify and ensure all known on-post and off-post facilities visited by the individual are thoroughly cleaned.

Despite the recent confirmed cases, USFK remains at a high level of readiness with less than 1% of its active duty service members currently confirmed positive with COVID-19.

USFK continues to maintain a robust combined defense posture to protect the Republic of Korea against any threat or adversary, while maintaining prudent preventive measures to protect the force and the mission.
