The
@USAGDaegu commander@ed_ballanco says “we don’t know of a single American or Korean who has tested positive who has stepped foot on a U.S. installation … & that remains true here in Daegu even w/ the outbreak.” They’re working to keep it that way.1 reply 4 retweets 10 likesShow this thread -
Most soldiers live on base, but many civilian employees reside in the city. Everybody has been asked to stay inside as much as possible & do shopping etc. on post. No nonessential travel for troops. Most visitors are also barred tho authorized South Koreans can come to work.
