TOKYO (AP) — Dozens of U. S. Marines have been infected with the coronavirus at two bases on the southern Japanese island of Okinawa in what is feared to be a massive outbreak, Okinawan officials said Saturday, demanding an adequate explanation from the U. S. military.
Okinawa prefectural officials said they could say only that a “few dozen” cases had been found recently because the U. S. military asked that the exact figure not be released. The outbreaks occurred at Marine Corps. Air Station Futenma, which is at the center of a relocation dispute, and Camp Hansen, Okinawan officials said.
Local media, citing unnamed sources, said about 60 people had been infected.
