Number of coronavirus cases aboard deployed US Navy destroyer more than doubles over the weekend

Washington, Apr 29 (AP) The number of coronavirus cases aboard the USS Kidd rose to 64 as the Navy destroyer pulled into port at San Diego on Tuesday to get medical care for the crew and to disinfect and decontaminate the ship.The Kidd is the second Navy ship to have an outbreak of the disease while at sea, the other being the USS Theodore Roosevelt, an aircraft carrier that has been docked at Guam for a month. The Roosevelt has more than 900 sailors with confirmed cases of COVID-19, but the entire crew has now been tested.The Navy has moved swiftly to get the Kidd's crew ashore. That was a point of contention with the Roosevelt, whose skipper, Capt. Brett Crozier, felt compelled to write to several other commanders pleading for more urgent Navy action to protect his crew of nearly 5,000. Crozier was then relieved of command for what the Navy's top civilian official at the time, Thomas Modly, called poor judgment. Modly resigned several days later, and the Navy is now seeking higher-level approval to reverse his move and restore Crozier to command.The Navy said that 63% of the Kidd's crew of more than 300 had been tested as of Tuesday. One sailor was medically evacuated to the United States on April 22 after experiencing shortness of breath. Fifteen were transferred to another ship with a medical facility for closer observation of symptoms.Sailors being removed from the Kidd at San Diego will be isolated with twice-daily medical screenings. Crew members who have tested negative will enter quarantine for a period of observation, with military health professionals monitoring them for symptoms. Also, a small contingent of sailors who tested negative will remain on the ship for essential services and deep cleaning. The cleaning is expected to take two weeks.The destroyer had been off the Pacific coast of Central American doing counter-narcotics operations.With the Roosevelt and Kidd both in port, the Navy said no deployed ships currently have known coronavirus cases aboard. Thirteen ships that previously had one or more active cases while in port have zero cases now, the Navy said.(AP) AMSAMS

At that time, there were only three cases. The number had climbed to 114 by Thursday."I can tell you with great certainty there's going to be more. It will probably be in the hundreds," Thomas Modly, the acting Navy secretary, told reporters at the Pentagon Thursday afternoon.He said that none of the 114 that have tested positive had been hospitalized. "The ones that are sick are exhibiting mild or moderate flu symptoms. Some are exhibiting no symptoms. And, some have already recovered," he said.The ship is currently in Guam, where the Navy is in the process of removing thousands of sailors from the ship and testing the entire crew.On Wednesday, Modly told reporters 1,273 sailors, roughly one-fourth of the crew, had been tested. At least 93 tests had come back positive.The Navy is <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/uss-theodore-roosevelt-sailors-to-be-quarantined-in-guam-hotels-2020-4">moving at least 2,700 sailors off the ship</a>, and those who test negative will be put up in vacant hotels on Guam, where they will be quarantined for two weeks.Before the outbreak, the massive flattop had been sailing the Pacific. In early March, the ship made a port call in Da Nang, Vietnam.Modly's prediction that the number of coronavirus cases aboard the carrier could eventually be in the hundreds came as he announced that he had <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/navy-relieves-uss-theodore-roosevelt-captain-loss-of-confidence-2020-4">relieved the USS Theodore Roosevelt's commanding officer of duty</a> due to a loss of trust and confidence.Capt. Brett Crozier, the ship's CO, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/uss-theodore-roosevelt-captain-begs-navy-for-help-with-coronavirus-2020-3">wrote a letter</a> warning that "the spread of the disease is ongoing and accelerating." He called for the removal of the majority of the crew from the ship as soon as possible. "Sailors do not need to die," he wrote.The letter leaked to the San Francisco Chronicle and then quickly made headlines everywhere.The acting Navy secretary accused the CO of mishandling information by distributing the letter outside the chain of command in a way that made it susceptible to being leaked. He said that Crozier exercised "poor judgment" and that his letter caused unnecessary panic among sailors and military families."I have no doubt in my mind that Capt. Crozier did what he thought was in the best interest and well-being of his crew," Modly said.

"Whether it's our field hospitals, whether it's our hospital ships ... they don't have necessarily the segregated space as you need to deal with infectious diseases.""One of the ways by which you can use either field hospitals, hospital ships, or things in between, is to take the pressure off of civilian hospitals when it comes to trauma cases, and open up civilian hospital rooms for infectious diseases," he added.Most of the medical staff for the Comfort is based at Portsmouth Naval Medical Center in Virginia. The ship has made several deployments since 1987, including to Puerto Rico for relief efforts after Hurricane Maria in 2017. The ships are staffed by 71 civilians and up to 1,200 sailors, according to the <a href="https://www.navy.mil/navydata/fact_display.asp?cid=4625&amp;tid=200&amp;ct=4">Navy</a>. Both ships include 12 fully-equipped operating rooms, a 1,000-bed hospital, medical laboratory, and a pharmacy. The ships also have helicopter decks for transport.The Defense Department said there were 18 US servicemembers who tested positive as of Monday. Over 5,800 coronavirus cases were reported in the US as of Tuesday afternoon. Over 95 people have died in the country.

A COVID-19 outbreak struck a UK ballistic-missile sub after sailors broke isolation rules at a US Navy base

Washington, Apr 24 (AP) Another Navy ship at sea has reported a coronavirus outbreak and is returning to port, the Navy said Friday. A Navy statement said at least 17 members of the crew of a destroyer, the USS Kidd, have tested positive and it expects the number to grow. It said it is evaluating the extent of the outbreak aboard the ship. The Kidd is in the Caribbean, where it has been operating as part of a counter-drug mission. One sailor who displayed symptoms was flown off the Kidd on Thursday to a medical facility at San Antonio, where he tested positive for the virus. "As a result, the Navy has - using lessons learned from other cases - flowed a medical evaluation team onto the Kidd" to conduct more testing, Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said. "They are preparing to return to port, where they will undertake efforts to clean the ship" and remove a portion of the crew. The Navy continues to struggle with a coronavirus outbreak aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt, an aircraft carrier that is docked in Guam and has more than 800 confirmed virus cases. (AP) IND

Zach Harrell, a spokesman for Naval Air Forces Pacific, told The Times that after the sailors reported they were experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, they were provided immediate medical care and taken off the ship.The Times reported that the new positive tests worried crew members that they might again face the kind of disastrous situation they saw this past spring.Toward the end of March, three sailors, two members of the air wing and one from the reactor team, tested positive for COVID-19. In a matter of days, the number of infected jumped from three to a several dozen. The carrier was forced into port in Guam, where it was sidelined by the <keyword id="1754604" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="coronavirus">coronavirus</keyword> for almost two months.As more and more Theodore Roosevelt sailors fell ill, a political storm hit after the leak of a letter written by Capt. Brett Crozier, then the ship's commanding officer, calling on the Navy to quickly take action and evacuate most of the crew. Thomas Modly, at that time the acting secretary of the Navy, fired Crozier a few days later.A week later, Modly resigned from his position amid mounting pressure following an inappropriate, profanity-laced speech delivered to the disheartened crew of the Theodore Roosevelt, the final act in a series of missteps to address the crisis aboard the carrier.Modly's questionable actions aside, a Navy investigation still found fault in Crozier's behavior, leadership, and handling of the outbreak, so he was not reinstated, despite earlier recommendations by leadership that his firing be reversed.The Navy battled the coronavirus outbreak aboard the ship for months and was forced to evacuate the majority of the crew as around 1,200 sailors fell ill. A number of sailors were hospitalized as a result, and one sailor died. The USS Theodore Roosevelt finally returned to sea toward the end of May, and the ill-fated deployment ended in July.

US Navy aircraft carrier crippled by COVID-19 earlier this year again sees sailors test positive for the virus

Rome, Jul 12 (AP) Local outbreaks of COVID-19 among workers at a courier service in northern Italy and among migrants rescued in the Mediterranean Sea have helped swell an increase in the nation's daily new cases. Calabria, which in recent days had been registering a couple or even no new daily coronavirus infections, had 28 new cases on Sunday, stemming from as many infections among nearly 800 migrants rescued from human traffickers' boats and brought to that region. Calabria Gov. Jole Santelli called on the national government to safeguard the local population by requisitioning navy boats going forward and keeping rescued migrants offshore until they can be tested for coronavirus infection. In the Emilia-Romagna region, 71 cases were registered on Sunday, according to the Health Ministry, a sizable jump from recent days, reflecting a hot spot of infections at a major courier service in Bologna.
