In 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 virus caused an unprecedented pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Army Public Health Command Europe monitored all cases of COVID-19 for Military Health System (MHS) beneficiaries seen in Army Military Treatment Facilities. Cases entered into the Army Disease Reporting System internet (ARDSi) were evaluated for symptomatology as this was a younger and healthier cohort than typically reported on at the time. During the surveillance period, 7.1% of COVID-19 cases among MHS beneficiaries were hospitalized; these cases presented with symptoms such as congestion, sore throat, and disturbances in taste and smell. Interventions to stop the outbreak included aggressive case finding with robust testing, control of cases and contacts, and the extreme social distancing measures seen in other countries. The outbreak was successfully brought under control in one month. Cases remained sporadic and were due largely to importation from the U.S. until the end of August 2020.
2020 年，SARS-CoV-2 病毒引发了前所未有的 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行。欧洲陆军公共卫生司令部监测了陆军军事医疗系统（MHS）受益人的所有 COVID-19 病例，这些病例是在陆军医疗设施中看到的。进入陆军疾病报告系统互联网（ARDSi）的病例根据症状进行了评估，因为这是一个比当时通常报告的年龄更小、更健康的队列。在监测期间，MHS 受益人的 COVID-19 病例中有 7.1%住院；这些病例表现出鼻塞、喉咙痛以及味觉和嗅觉障碍等症状。为了阻止疫情爆发，采取了积极的病例发现和强有力的检测、病例和接触者的控制以及其他国家采取的极端社交距离措施。疫情在一个月内得到成功控制。病例一直呈散发性，直到 2020 年 8 月底，主要是由于从美国输入。
