Ministry of National Defense "Military personnel leave allowed again from the 15th... within feasible quarantine measures"
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yuri] Military personnel's leave, which was blocked due to COVID-19, will resume from the 15th. This is the first time in 80 days that the complete restriction on military personnel's leave has been lifted.
The Ministry of National Defense announced on the 13th that from the 15th to the 28th, the 'social distancing within the military' for all units will be eased from level 2.5 to level 2.
Accordingly, leave for soldiers will be allowed within the scope where quarantine management for those on leave is possible, such as the military's PCR (polymerase chain reaction) testing capacity (within 20% of unit personnel).
