ANNAPOLIS, Md. \u2014 The U.S. Naval Academy has established penalties for midshipmen who violate its COVID-19 restrictions, a move that comes after a proposal to have the mids police themselves failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A memo approved March 11 says the first time a midshipman violates the Naval Academy\u2019s rules intended to slow the spread of COVID 19 they face getting demerits, the Capital Gazette<\/a> reported Tuesday. An offense will also mean the loss of a weekend of liberty when it is restored and an additional seven days of restrictions when they are eased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a second offense, another 50 demerits are added, as well as another week of restrictions and another lost chance to get off the Yard for the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
