"WE ARE TAKING ALL APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES TO PREVENT ANY POTENTIAL SPREAD OF THE VIRUS."
BY DAN ROBITZSKI / FEBRUARY 13 2020
American military leaders issued an executive order this week that mobilized the entire Department of Defense to prepare for a potential pandemic-level outbreak of the coronavirus COVID-19.
The order was referenced in memos sent out to Navy and Marine Corps officials this week, according to the Military Times. It includes plans to impose fourteen-day quarantines for servicemembers who recently traveled to China along with those who came into contact with them, as well as treatment plans for any confirmed cases.
“We are taking all appropriate precautionary measures to prevent any potential spread of the virus,” U.S. Forces Korea commander Army General Robert Abrams said last week, per Military Times. “Key for everyone is to follow standard hygiene protocols, and if not feeling well — get screened ASAP!”
