4 NATO soldiers in Afghanistan test positive for coronavirus, 38 more isolated with ‘flu-like symptoms’

RT reports (source):

Four newly arrived NATO servicemen have tested positive for Covid-19 in Afghanistan, while dozens more have been quarantined with symptoms similar to those of the coronavirus, the US-led mission said.

Information about the four infected servicemen will be withheld “pending release from the appropriate national authorities,” the NATO Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan said on Tuesday.

Around 1,500 soldiers and civilians have been quarantined by the mission as a “preventive measure.” Most of them have either recently arrived in Afghanistan, or returned from leave. Of the quarantined servicemen, 38 were isolated after displaying “flu-like symptoms,” which are frequent among Covid-19 patients.

Last month, all US military sites in South Korea were placed on lockdown after an employee at one of the bases tested positive for Covid-19.

good american

It will be ironic if the wars stop and soldiers stop killing each other because they are afraid of the slight chance to die from the virus. Everything is more upside down and senseless everyday.

Assad must stay

Assad must stay

If ever you wanted to know the source of coronavirus it is ‘highly-likely’ via the U.S. military through the cobragoldvirus. (drinking bloody fresh cobra’s blood in Thailand!)
