WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – US Navy began evacuating hundreds of sailors from its coronavirus-hit Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier, but will keep aboard enough personnel to maintain the nuclear-powered ship’s safety, Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly told reporters on Wednesday.
He added that there are less than a hundred personnel who have tested positive so far. None of them is seriously ill and required hospitalization.
The ship is docked in Guam where the Naval command together with the local authorities are looking for premises to accommodate evacuated sailors.
Modley emphasized that the outbreak doesn’t compromise the battle-readiness of the ship which “will go if it needs to go.”
