Even though SARS Cov2 outbreak management has been well-described, scant information is available in military settings. We aimed to describe a SARS Cov2 outbreak and its management on the Dixmude, a French landing helicopter dock.
We performed an observational retrospective and monocentric study in a ship. Role 1 was reinforced by additional roles 1 and 2. Our analysis included all infected crew personnel. We described demographic data, outbreak course, and biological samples including Covid-19 diagnosis. All infected patients were monitored for 10 days.
Between February 16th 2021 and March 12th 2021, 54 patients (10% of the entire crew) were included. No patient had previously been vaccinated against SARS Cov2. The global mission was maintained. The crew members were healthy, male, and young (median age 28 years) with no medical history. Ranks of every status were concerned. Covid-19 disease was mainly diagnosed by real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rt-PCR). Thirty-two patients (59%) were symptomatic, four (8%) were presymptomatic and 18 (33%) remained asymptomatic.
The present work describes specific SARS Cov2 outbreak management in an austere military environment. Early individual and global measures were set and implemented on board.
尽管 SARS-CoV2 疫情管理已得到充分描述,但在军事环境中可用的信息却很少。我们旨在描述法国登陆直升机码头 Dixmude 上的 SARS-CoV2 疫情及其管理情况。
我们在一艘船上进行了观察性回顾性和单中心研究。第 1 角色由额外的第 1 和第 2 角色加强。我们的分析包括所有感染的船员人员。我们描述了人口统计学数据、疫情过程以及包括 Covid-19 诊断在内的生物样本。所有感染的患者都被监测了 10 天。
2021 年 2 月 16 日至 2021 年 3 月 12 日,共纳入 54 名患者(占全体船员的 10%)。没有患者以前接种过 SARS-CoV2 疫苗。保持了全球任务。船员身体健康,男性,年轻(中位年龄 28 岁),没有病史。每个级别的船员都受到影响。新冠病毒疾病主要通过实时逆转录聚合酶链反应(rt-PCR)诊断。32 名患者(59%)有症状,4 名(8%)为无症状感染者,18 名(33%)仍无症状。
本研究描述了在严峻的军事环境中 SARS-CoV2 疫情的具体管理情况。早期在船上制定并实施了个人和全球措施。
