...on or about the 25th. The first death was on the 21st. The general, USFK Commander, said it was in order not to let the commands guard down and to protect the troops.

A South Korean news item discussing this matter said that the denial of any relationship to covid was based on no signs of symptoms beforehand by the two soldiers and no underlying medical conditions. They reported that there were 10 cases related to USFK at the time, but only one soldier. The rest are dependents. These are isolated off base. There was one South Korean worker on Camp Humphreys who was positive who was also isolated off base.
