When the pandemic hit New York City hard, military medical teams were sent to help in a field hospital. A report was created to look at whether these service members got infected with COVID-19 while they were there. The report doesn't tell us how many people got sick, or if the rate was higher or lower than expected. It simply notes that the question was asked. Because this is just an observational report and not a full study with results, we can't draw any conclusions about the risks these medics faced or how well their safety measures worked. It's a reminder that early reports often raise questions long before they provide clear answers.

What this means for you:
A report asked about COVID in military medics, but no results were shared.
