Another 103 sailors from US carrier test positive for coronavirus

The USS Theodore Roosevelt is seen while entering the port in Da Nang, Vietnam, on March 5, 2020.

WASHINGTON – Another 103 crew members on the US aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt have tested positive for the coronavirus, the Navy said on Saturday, bringing the total number of cases from the ship to 550.

In a statement on its website, the Navy said 92% of the carrier’s crew members had been tested for the virus, with 550 positive and 3,673 negative results. It said 3,696 sailors had moved ashore.

On Friday, the Navy had reported 447 positive cases and on Thursday, 416.

The outbreak aboard the nuclear-powered carrier led to the resignation on Tuesday of Thomas Modly as acting Navy secretary following a mounting backlash for his firing and ridiculing of the ship’s commander, who had pleaded for the help stemming a coronavirus outbreak onboard.

On Thursday, a sailor from the carrier was admitted to an intensive care unit in Guam after testing positive for the coronavirus last month.

The spring sports meet this year was held last Friday. Many students took an active part in it. So did I. The sports meet began at eight o’clock. After the opening, all kinds of races, both field-events and track-events, started one after another, I took part in the 1500-metre race.
