Seven more service members affiliated with U.S. Forces Korea have tested positive for COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of those service members, four had taken government-chartered flights to Osan Air Base between Oct. 5 and Oct. 19, while another three headed into Incheon International Airport on a commercial flight on Oct. 18 and Oct. 19, according to the command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
USFK policy dictates that all service members arriving in South Korea must undergo a COVID-19 test and then remain quarantined for at least 14 days. Service members will receive a subsequent COVID-19 test after the two-week period, to ensure they test negative before their release or can be isolated if they test positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Four of the seven service members tested positive during the initial test and three tested positive during the second test, USFK said. All who have tested positive are currently at Camp Humphreys in isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than a dozen service members affiliated with USFK have tested positive for COVID-19 this month<\/a> either after initially arriving in South Korea from the U.S., or after a mandatory two week quarantine.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
