U.S. Sailor From Coronavirus-Hit Aircraft Carrier in ICU
WASHINGTON — A sailor from the coronavirus-stricken aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt was in an intensive care unit (ICU) in Guam, the Navy said on Tuesday, a day after another sailor from the carrier died after contracting the virus.
The U.S. Navy sailor who died from the COVID-19 illness on Monday became infected with the coronavirus while aboard the carrier, whose captain was fired after warning that crew members would die unnecessarily unless strong action was taken.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Navy said the other sailor was moved to the ICU for "increased observation due to shortness of breath." Three other sailors from the carrier are being treated at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Guam for coronavirus symptoms.
So far, 589 crew members of the Theodore Roosevelt have tested positive for the coronavirus.
