Four more sailors from the virus-hit carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt are in a hospital being treated for COVID-19, with one in intensive care.

The announcement by the Navy on Tuesday comes one day after the death of a crew member assigned to the carrier—the first active military member killed by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
