Dozens more U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen were moved out of the Bancroft Hall dormitory and into an Annapolis hotel Tuesday night following a COVID-19 outbreak that has largely shut the school down to any in-person activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 98 midshipmen were transferred from the dorm to the Graduate Hotel \u201cin an effort to afford additional quarantine\/isolation space,\u201d the academy said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That followed a similar move on Monday night<\/a>, where another 98 students were moved to Annapolis\u2019 Hilton Garden Inn to \u201crecover from the COVID-19 virus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Academy officials did not specify whether the students moved Tuesday had also tested positive, and officials did not immediately respond to questions Wednesday about the precise number of midshipmen who have tested positive and whether any academy cases have required hospitalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Superintendent Vice Adm. Sean Buck announced Sunday that full restriction-of-movement, or ROM, would commence on campus, with all classes being held remotely and students being largely confined to their rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
