Camp Humphreys Hospital Now Able to Conduct Its Own Coronavirus Testing
|USFK is now able to conduct their own coronavirus testing:
With the number of infections soaring in South Korea after a February outbreak in Daegu, U.S. Forces Korea restricted access to bases, implemented health checks at entry gates and ordered service members to avoid nonessential activities and travel outside the base.
However, USFK didn’t have the ability to conduct its own tests. It initially had to outsource patients and samples to an overwhelmed South Korean health system.
That changed on March 7 when the military stood up its own lab at the new hospital that opened last year on Camp Humphreys, allowing it to ramp up testing.

You can read more at the link, but of interest is that 250 USFK servicemembers and civilians have been tested with only 9 so far coming up positive. The lab at Camp Humphreys is also conducting only 10 test a day with the capacity to do about 80 if needed.
If possible maybe some of these test kits need to be shipped to the U.S. to help out there.
This has all changed. Active case that was working in 8th army hq and other areas on Friday. Diagnosed yesterday. So back up 14 days from Tuesday and see what you get….
No need for USFK to send test kits to the US.
Trump has asked South Korea for help by sending medical equipment including test kits to the US, and Moon and their commie minions have agreed to help the US which is in desperate situation.

I guess Korea felt they had to after America stepped up to stabilize South Korea’s economy….http://www.korea.net/NewsFocus/Business/view?articleId=183494
Yes, hopefully, the test kits will stop Americans from stop fighting over toilet papers.
That infected 8th Army HQ US Contractor must have a pretty good job… an hour and a half lunch at the golf course, take care of some work, and then at 2:30pm goes to take an hour break at Starbucks, lol. He must be mission essential! 😛 But in all seriousness, wishing him a speedy recovery.
So Korea man hopes Americans keep fighting over the toilet paper? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKo7Ivssqfk

Flyingsword, don’t feed the trolls until they start being imaginative instead of parroting Beijing.
@setnaffa, as long as Flyingsword doesn’t feed them after midnight it’s all good….
