Our medical team continues coordinating with the ship and our focus is the safety and well-being of every Sailor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The destroyer is expected to head toward its homeport of Naval Station Everett in Washington state, where it will begin undergoing deep cleaning and disinfecting in accordance to guidelines provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOnboard test results will inform operational decisions,\u201d the release said. \u201cWe will continue this aggressive approach to provide medical care to our Sailors and work to mitigate further spread.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The outbreak onboard the destroyer Kidd comes just after the sea service concluded its testing of 100 percent of the crew assigned to the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of Friday, 840 sailors assigned to TR have tested positive for COVID-19. A \u201csmall number\u201d of tests are still pending, Navy officials said. Four sailors are currently receiving care at U.S. Naval Hospital Guam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly 90 percent of the crew has been moved onto the island, where the ship has been ported since March 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chief <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/off-duty\/military-culture\/2020\/04\/16\/navy-ids-sailor-who-died-from-covid-19-complications\/\">Aviation Ordnanceman Charles Robert Thacker, Jr., 41,<\/a> died April 13 at U.S. Naval Hospital Guam due to COVID-19 complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thacker was moved to the ICU on April 9 after being found unresponsive by other quarantined sailors. He is the only Theodore Roosevelt sailor to have succumbed to the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navy officials would not specify whether Thacker had any preexisting medical conditions that made him more susceptible to COVID-19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sailor who was removed from the ship is reportedly in stable condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":64354,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":69,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[66,23,93,12,69],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3412],"class_list":["post-32146","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-coronavirus","category-home","category-middle-column","category-news","category-your-marine-corps"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"LUBXL6JNAZCA7BWAP73WS6SCKY","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-navy\/2020\/04\/24\/destroyer-underway-in-pacific-fighting-covid-19-outbreak\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Destroyer underway in Pacific fighting COVID-19 outbreak - Marine Corps Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The sailor who was removed from the ship is reportedly in stable condition.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Destroyer underway in Pacific fighting COVID-19 outbreak\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The sailor who was removed from the ship is reportedly in stable condition.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/marinecorpstimes\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2020\/04\/24\/destroyer-underway-in-pacific-fighting-covid-19-outbreak\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Marine Corps Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-04-24T16:31:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T19:31:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"J.D.
