Nope, fake news. We've refuted the assertion a couple of times.

A past diagnosis of the coronavirus will not disqualify individuals from joining the U.S. military, a defense official said Friday, after the Pentagon clarified guidance issued this week that appeared to bar all people who recovered from the illness from serving.

The updated guidance does bar from military service individuals who require hospitalization for complications from the virus, which has caused an international pandemic that has shut down much of the United States and killed more than 75,000 Americans, the official said. Those individuals can apply for a service-issued waiver to attempt to enter the military, said the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the policy and requested anonymity.

The initial policy labeling a confirmed history of the coronavirus “permanently disqualifying” a person from military service was issued to the Military Entrance Processing Command in a memorandum that leaked over social media on Monday and was later published by several news organizations. Pentagon officials confirmed the memo’s authenticity, but they said it would be updated to avoid the appearance that the military was banning all coronavirus survivors.
