The Navy's 6th Fleet, which primarily operates around Europe and Africa, will impose a 14-day quarantine on ships between port calls in Europe in light of growing concerns over the coronavirus.

Any ship visiting a European port will be required to spend at least 14 days at sea afterward, as first reported by CNN.

"In conjunction with other fleets, we have instituted a 14-day underway period between port visits to allow for crew monitoring," 6th Fleet spokesman Cmdr. Kyle Raines told CNN.
