A family member of a U.S. service member was diagnosed with coronavirus—which causes COVID-19—in South Korea, as the number of cases in the country continues to rise.
In a press release on Monday, U.S. Forces Korea said it was told by South Korea’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that a military dependent living in the southern city of Daegu tested positive for COVID-19, marking the first case linked to U.S. Forces Korea.
