An earlier army statement had said 100 members of the more than 600-strong contingent had contracted the virus.
The 208 soldiers according to an army pr official are staying at an army “hotel” in the village of Guereo, some 60 kilometres (35 miles) south of the capital Dakar.
He added that the facility hosts troops who test positive for Covid-19 but are asymptomatic.
The Gambia, a finger of territory surrounded by Senegal save for its Atlantic coast, has confirmed 3,428 cases of the disease and 105 deaths while Senegal, for its part, has declared 14,529 cases and 298 deaths.
