The U.S. Navy stated it will evacuate the majority of the USS Theodore Roosevelt (TR), an aircraft carrier currently docked in Guam, a day after its commander issued an urgent plea for assistance to control an outbreak of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus.
While cases of the CCP virus were first reported on the ship last week, a senior officer on board the ship who sought anonymity told the San Francisco Chronicle that 150 to 200 sailors had tested positive as of March 30. At least 70 sailors have been infected, The Wall Street Journal has confirmed.
