The U.S. military will not be accepting new applicants who have recovered from the CCP virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus, according to new guidance from a memo sent by the U.S. Military Entrance Processing Command.

The memo, which was published on Twitter, said that “during the medical history interview or examination, a history of COVID-19, confirmed by either a laboratory test or clinician diagnosis, is permanently disqualifying.”
