Newly Arrived USFK Airman Tests Positive for Coronavirus

It is a good thing USFK is testing all the new arrivals to Korea because they caught another service member infected with the virus:

An American service member tested positive for the coronavirus after arriving from the United States on a U.S.-government chartered flight for a new assignment in South Korea, the military said Tuesday.

He was the second service member found to have the virus upon arrival via the so-called Patriot Express in less than a week. That raised the total number of confirmed cases affiliated with U.S. Forces Korea to 28, including four active-duty troops.

Even if you were sick two months ago, and recovered completely, you are still going to test positive, aren’t you?

Don, yes, depends on which test they use. Many of them have a false positives and false negatives.
