USFK Makes Change to Its COVID-19 Release from Isolation Criteria

So now a USFK servicemember can still test positive for the coronavirus and be released from isolation:

The U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) said Tuesday it will release coronavirus patients showing no symptoms after 20 days of quarantine even if they continue to test positive for the virus, citing medical research that individuals are no longer contagious after 20 days. 

USFK said it came up with the change in the discharge policy after thorough coordination with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA).

“USFK … will begin to release individuals from isolation once they have reached 21 days in isolation, regardless if they continue to test positive for COVID-19,” USFK said in a statement.

You can read more at the link, but apparently the after a length of time the virus is dead within the body but its remnants can still trigger a positive test. Because of this the Korean standard is 10 days of no symptoms to be released from isolation. USFK has doubled the Korean standard with 20 days of no symptoms. This means the anti-U.S. leftists will not be able to claim that USFK is releasing COVID-19 positive personnel to infect Koreans.
