“In the last few hours we received confirmation of presumed - I emphasize presumed - positive cases of coronavirus in Pennsylvania."
One case is in Delaware County, the other in Wayne County in Northeastern PA.— Matt O'Donnell (@matt_odonnell) March 6, 2020
USFK Update:
March 6, 2020
A USFK Korean National employee tested positive for COVID-19, making this the seventh USFK-related personnel to be confirmed with the virus.
The employee is currently in isolation at her off-base residence in Asan as directed by KCDC.
KCDC and USFK health professionals are actively conducting contact tracing to determine whether anyone else may have been exposed.
USFK remains at risk level “high” peninsula-wide and is implementing all appropriate control measures to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 as a prudent measure to protect the force

The PA cases are presumed because PA hasn’t test results on them.
Hopefully at this point PA has enough test kits to test them.
Presumed is higher on the scale than sniffles and “it’s just the flu”.
Confirmation of ‘presumed’ yet ????
Would not be surprising considering the PA eastern border is surrounded by states confirmed with cases as well as the NY/PA northern border. The eastern border is always busy with cross border traffic via Phili and NY City.
