Theodore Roosevelt captain makes urgent plea for individual quarantine sites as COVID-19 cases multiply

 

The commanding officer of aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt is pleading with the Navy to step up its response to COVID-19 and secure individualized isolation for the shipโ€™s crew as COVID-19 cases aboard the ship continue to multiply, according to a new report.

 

While most of the Roosevelt crew remains in cramped quarters aboard the carrier, a small percentage of sailors are starting to move into group quarantine sites on shore in Guam to limit the spread of the virus โ€” and only one of these sites is in compliance with NAVADMIN guidance.

 

As a result, current efforts to combat COVID-19 are inadequate, according to the Rooseveltโ€™s commanding officer Capt. Brett Crozier.

 

Crozier argued that the group quarantine sites would merely delay the spread of COVID-19 in a letter to Navy officials on Monday, obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle. Likewise, he noted that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center advise against group quarantine, and instead suggest individual quarantine.

 

โ€œSailors do not need to die,โ€ Crozier wrote in the letter. โ€œIf we do not act now, we are failing to properly take care of our most trusted asset โ€” our Sailors.โ€

USNS Watkins (T-AKR-315) is one of Military Sealift Command's nineteen Large, Medium-Speed Roll-on/Roll-off Ships and is part of the 33 ships in the Prepositioning Program. She is a Watson-class vehicle cargo ship.

 

She was named for Master Sergeant Travis E. Watkins, a Medal of Honor recipient.

According to The Guardian the human rights group Reprieve identified the Watkins and sixteen other USN vessels as having held "ghost prisoners" in clandestine extrajudicial detention.
