New COVID-19 Cases at 2 Okinawa Marine Bases Prompt Shelter-in-Place Orders

The Marine Corps abruptly shuttered two bases in Japan this week after several people assigned to the installations tested positive for the illness caused by the novel coronavirus.
Marine Corps Installations Pacific on Wednesday closed off Camp Hansen in Okinawa, restricting entrance to anyone not assigned to the installation and ordering personnel there to stay in their residences. The move followed a similar lockdown a day earlier at Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, where several more people tested positive for COVID-19.
