The coronavirus-stricken USS Theodore Roosevelt, docked in Guam, has stoked anxieties on the island as hundreds of sailors enter its hotels for quarantine.
Sailors assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt moving meals for sailors being taken to local hotels in an effort to implement social distancing at Naval Base Guam.
Some 580 sailors have been confirmed infected. Over 1,700 sailors who have tested negative have been isolating themselves in hotels in Tumon, while the sick remain at Naval Base Guam, Navy officials said. The sailors' rooms have been stocked with two weeks' worth of linens, towels and water, Rhodes said. They would make no contact with hotel workers; only military police and medical teams could visit.
