Positive results were forwarded to the Public Health Department. The results of the contact tracing and PUI form were entered into a database and analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Eight Covid-19 cases were diagnosed in this overseas population. Based on beneficiary population, the cumulative incidence was \u223c80\/100,000 persons. The age distribution ranged from 25 to 60\u2009years, median 36\u2009years. Most patients were male (75%). More infection occurred in those living off base in the community (87.5%). With the capability of on-site testing at the hospital, the median duration from symptom onset to diagnosis improved from 5\u2009days to 1 day.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Disease contact tracing for DoD populations presents unique considerations in an overseas location. Public Health guidelines for the USA may have varying relevance in an overseas location. Rapid case identification with on-site testing is critical to disrupt disease transmission. Preventive measures for Covid-19 infection have decreased incidence of influenza-like illness.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/milmed\/usab166","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,28]],"date-time":"2021-04-28T06:36:31Z","timestamp":1619591791000},"page":"e1572-e1575","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["COVID-19 Contact Tracing in an Overseas U.S. Military Population"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"187","author":[{"given":"Cynthia S","family":"Sikorski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Operational Infectious Disease Directorate, Naval Health Research Center , San Diego, CA 92106-3521, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Misty D","family":"Scheel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Health Department, Naples Navy Medical Readiness Training Command , Gricignano di Aversa, CE 81030, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephanie M","family":"Harris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Health Department, Naples Navy Medical Readiness Training Command , Gricignano di Aversa, CE 81030, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julia A","family":"Nefczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Navy Environmental Preventive Medicine Unit 5 , San Diego, CA 92136, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,28]]},"reference":[{"issue":"18","key":"2022121510472080900_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1708","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa2002032","article-title":"Clinical characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 in China","volume":"382","author":"Guan","year":"2020","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"key":"2022121510472080900_R2","article-title":"Naming the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the virus that causes it","author":"World Health Organization"},{"key":"2022121510472080900_R3","article-title":"Rolling updates on coronavirus disease (COVID-19)","author":"World Health Organization"},{"key":"2022121510472080900_R4","article-title":"COVID view.
