A U.S. soldier has tested positive for the coronavirus in South Korea, the U.S. military said, as the East Asian country sees its confirmed cases of the virus surpass 1,100.

The U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) announced Tuesday that the 23-year-old U.S. soldier, who is stationed at Camp Carroll, is now in self-quarantine at his off-base residence.
