A naval major, who is sending private troops to the Bahrain coalition naval service, was also positive in the process of testing related persons after foreign troops in the unit were confirmed.

Four Korean troops dispatched from the same garrison appeared in voice.

This is the first time that a confirmed case has emerged among Korean troops dispatched overseas.

It is known that the symptoms of those receiving quarantine treatment in separate facilities are mild.

The Ministry of Defense has taken measures to prevent and prevent quarantine for overseas contingents.

In the meantime, one additional officer of the Marine Corps of Gimpo, Gyeonggi-do was confirmed in the domestic military.

Other military leave is controlled unless the commander deems it necessary, such as pre-discharge leave.

The military decided to conduct a PCR test at the time of return to vacation and at the end of two weeks of preventive quarantine and observation to prevent re-spread of infection.
