None of them are seriously ill. Some have milder symptoms, Forsvarets forum writes.

The soldiers have been infected after being at the bar or by someone who has been there. The infected are distributed between multiple army camps: Bardufoss (24), Skjold (10), and Setermoen (3).

In late June, the Army announced that multiple soldiers were in quarantine in connection to the outbreak.
