由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型(SARS-CoV-2)引起的冠状病毒病2019年(新冠肺炎)危及部队履行任务的能力。2020年5月初，被部署到尼日尔马拉迪军事教育训练中心的70名比利时士兵中，有22人出现了轻微的新冠肺炎相容症状。他们一回到比利时，两周后，所有70名士兵都接受了SARS-CoV-2RNA(RT-qPCR)和抗体(两种免疫分析)的检测。9名士兵至少有一次新冠肺炎诊断测试结果呈阳性。其中5人出现新冠肺炎症状(主要是嗅觉缺失、嗅觉障碍和发热)，4人没有症状。对四名士兵进行了SARS-CoV-2病毒载量检测和基因组测序。常规和基因组流行病学数据表明，这些基因组有一个最近的非洲共同祖先，比利时军人是通过与当地人接触感染的。医务军事指挥部对所有比利时士兵进行了SARS-CoV-2病毒载量和抗体检测，在他们离开国外或在公海执行任务的两到三天前，以及他们返回比利时后立即执行的特定任务。一些军事行动环境(如恶劣环境下的训练营和船只)也配备了移动传染病(新冠肺炎)检测能力。
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) compromises the ability of military forces to fulfill missions. At the beginning of May 2020, 22 out of 70 Belgian soldiers deployed to a military education and training center in Maradi, Niger, developed mild COVID-19 compatible symptoms. Immediately upon their return to Belgium, and two weeks later, all seventy soldiers were tested for SARS-CoV-2 RNA (RT-qPCR) and antibodies (two immunoassays). Nine soldiers had at least one positive COVID-19 diagnostic test result. Five of them exhibited COVID-19 symptoms (mainly anosmia, ageusia, and fever), while four were asymptomatic. In four soldiers, SARS-CoV-2 viral load was detected and the genomes were sequenced. Conventional and genomic epidemiological data suggest that these genomes have an African most recent common ancestor and that the Belgian military service men were infected through contact with locals. The medical military command implemented testing of all Belgian soldiers for SARS-CoV-2 viral load and antibodies, two to three days before their departure on a mission abroad or on the high seas, and for specific missions immediately upon their return in Belgium. Some military operational settings (e.g., training camps in austere environments and ships) were also equipped with mobile infectious disease (COVID-19) testing capacity.
