The destroyer USS Kidd will return to port after some of its crew tested positive for the novel coronavirus, Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said Friday.
A sailor tested positive for Covid-19 after being flown off the ship, and some of the crew will be removed from the vessel, Hoffman said at a Pentagon briefing. The Navy, “using lessons learned from other cases,” responded quickly and flew a specialized medical evaluation team onto the Kidd to conduct testing, he said.
