Description
Dorothea Franziska Wiemer and co-authors study how COVID infection control changed infections imported by German soldiers and police after tropical deployments, in a research paper from 2023. Pandemic rules were also applied to forces abroad. The question is whether that extra control cut the usual deployment infections as a side benefit.
Post-deployment checks at a Hamburg tropical medicine unit cover more than a thousand military and more than a hundred police deployments, mostly to Africa and the eastern Mediterranean. Pandemic-era results face pre-pandemic ones. Stomach and gut infections fell sharply in soldiers, with a like trend in police. Other infection patterns showed no steady shift. The study is exploratory by design.
