USFK Family Members Released from Quarantine After Testing Negative for MERS

Here is some good news that these USFK family members tested negative for MERS and have been released from quarantine:

Two U.S. military families in Seoul were released from quarantine Wednesday after testing negative for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, a virus that has killed 27 South Koreans over the past month.

U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan described the quarantine as a precautionary measure in a Facebook post Tuesday. The families, who had been under medical supervision since last week in line with South Korean government guidelines, were described as asymptomatic and not contagious.

Each family had a member who was treated at an off-post hospital affected by the MERS outbreak. The families were quarantined from the time of potential exposure.

No other U.S. Forces Korea families or individuals are under quarantine for the virus, the Facebook post said.  [Stars & Stripes]
