Coronavirus infected soldiers in Afghanistan have been evacuated and are home

The Norwegian soldiers who were reported infected with the Coronavirus in Afghanistan last week arrived in Norway this weekend.

– “I can confirm that personnel have been sent home,” says spokesperson Elisabeth Eikeland at the Armed Forces’ operational headquarters (FOH) to the Armed Forces forum.

FOH will still not comment on how many soldiers there are, or which department they belong to. There will be a rotation so that the gaps after the personnel sent home are filled. Two Danish soldiers with the Coronavirus have also been sent back to Denmark.
