The number of infected increases on the US aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt. More than 500 people in the crew have fallen ill on covid-19.
Travel around the spread of the virus on one of the world’s largest warships caused the US Navy to act to resign earlier this week.
An additional 103 people in the crew of the US aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt have been found to be infected with the coronavirus. This means that 550 of the more than 4,000 people on board have been infected, of which one receives intensive care.
The US Navy USA He writes in a statement that 92 percent of the crew has been tested and that 3,673 have had negative results. Almost 3,700 people are said to have landed in Guam, in the Pacific, where the nuclear-powered boat is moored.
The manager was turned off
The handling of the virus outbreak on board has received much attention and political consequences. First, Commander Brett Crozier, who was alerted to the spread, was suspended from service on the USS Theodore Roosevelt.
In a long, multi-page letter to his superiors, Crozier requested that the crew be evacuated and quarantined. But the letter was leaked to the media, and instead of being obedient, the Pentagon Headquarters for Defense accused him of having bad judgment and creating completely unnecessary panic.
Modly had to go
Crozier’s guy sparked the crew’s ire and, in turn, led the country’s acting Minister of the Navy, Thomas Modly, to resign this week, after being criticized for his handling of the case.
However, both President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Mark Esper have defended the suspension of Crozier, who is ill on covid-19.
