Two military personnel, who had been reported to have fully recovered from the new coronavirus, have tested positive again, the defense ministry said Sunday.
An Army officer based in Yongin, some 50 kilometers south of Seoul, and an Air Force contractor in the southeastern city of Daegu have tested positive while in a preventive quarantine after leaving the hospital, according to the ministry.
Both were reported to have fully recovered from the virus on March 20. They have been in quarantine again at a hospital since Friday, it said.
The military has so far reported 39 infections in barracks, including 30 people who have fully recovered from the virus.

IDK.
Seen reports that the SK test is very poor. So it might be an error.
Still, it’s a troubling indication.
I keep hearing about these cases. We need an antibody test ASAP to get an idea of the incidence rate of recovered and reinfected. This is not an isolated incident. Coming from Korea is even more troubling.
Anyone infected with the SARS-CoV2 virus develops such a huge viral load that the infected will be shedding for up to a month after the immune system gets the upper hand.
This viral shedding will be primarily inactive virus which will show up in RNA tests.
