Gen. Christopher Norrie said in a statement after his visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Norrie noted that after learning of the outbreak on Friday, the U.S. military had deployed four helicopters to Garmisch-Partenkirchen carrying additional medical personnel and testing kits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employees who had close contact with positive staff members were placed in quarantine and the hotel was closed for two weeks, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are extremely grateful for Bavaria\u2019s proactive response to keep our communities as safe as possible from this virus,\u201d Norrie said. \u201cWe are part of this effort alongside our Bavarian hosts and friends, to act responsibly to limit the potential spread of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/coronavirus\/\" target=_blank>COVID-19<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP20257737052857.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"In this Sept. 13, 2020 taken photo a car drives past the place name sign in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.\" class=\"wp-image-44548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP20257737052857.jpg.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP20257737052857.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP20257737052857.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP20257737052857.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In this Sept. 13, 2020 taken photo a car drives past the place name sign in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

seven locations in Bavaria \u2014 would ensure that community members who don\u2019t adhere to orders, including local ordinances, would be held to account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. Army personnel, including civilians and family members, are banned from visiting establishments that function exclusively as bars and nightclubs, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe know that environments that are close, crowded and confined are conducive to the spread of the virus,\u201d Norrie said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
