Three days ago, the soldiers began to feel unwell and were taken to the hospital. Everyone felt dizzy, vomited and had diarrhea. Doctors said 31 soldiers have been diagnosed with “intestinal infection”. Another five people showed flu-like symptoms. The four people who are currently hospitalized still have fever symptoms, and the rest are normal.
