SEOUL-- President Moon Jae-in on Friday ordered aides to closely cooperate with U.S. troops stationed in South Korea to curb the spread of COVID-19 at U.S. military bases here.

Moon also instructed aides to come up with enhanced antivirus measures for citizens and business facilities near U.S. military bases, presidential spokesperson Park Kyung-mee said in a statement.

According to a recent report by the Stars and Stripes, the U.S. military's news organization, U.S. Forces Korea counted 467 new COVID-19 cases in the week ending Dec. 27 last year.

It marked the highest number of infections reported by U.S. Forces Korea since the pandemic began, the report said.
