Three U.S. sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt returned a positive diagnosis for Chinese coronavirus Tuesday, the first cases reported on a deployed U.S. Navy ship.
Evacuation of the three has been completed and all those they had come into contact with on the vessel, which has more than 5,000 personnel on board, have been quarantined, Acting Navy Secretary Thomas B. Modly said.
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday declined to say where the carrier was now or what DoD hospital the sailors were flown to.
Recent images show the carrier in the Philippine Sea, where it conducted at-sea exercises with Marine Corps and Air Force assets last week.
The ship was last in port in Vietnam 15 days ago but Gilday said it was difficult to connect the cases to a particular port visit.
