Washington There are now 23 sailors who have tested positive for the coronavirus aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, just two days after the Pentagon announced that three sailors aboard the ship had tested positive for the virus, a Navy official has confirmed to CNN.

Earlier in the day, acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly had said there were"several" more cases onboard the ship, but did not give a specific number."We are in the process now of testing 100% of the crew of that ship to ensure that we're able to contain whatever spread might've occurred," Modly told reporters at the Pentagon at a briefing Thursday morning. There are approximately 5,000 personnel on board the carrier.

So how did they get the virus? How long have them been on sailing? Where have them ported? I hope the gov can find the explanation. Otherwise following the US logic I would guess there are Chinese on this US carrier 🙂

Not from China obviously

How long have they been at sea? Where did they leave port from? Just curious how it got on board?
