Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley confirmed Wednesday that Army officials are considering postponing or curtailing exercises in South Korea amid concerns over the spreading coronavirus.

During a House Armed Services Committee hearing on the Pentagon budget, Milley said he expects Army Gen. Robert Abrams and Chairman of the Republic of Korea Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Hanki Park to make recommendations on whether to hold the training as cases of COVID-19 continue to rise in South Korea.

The country has the largest number of cases outside China — 1,300 as of Wednesday.
