Makin Island has a medical capacity that exceeds anything the destroyer would be capable of providing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Everett, Washington-based ship, which was underway in the eastern Pacific, is expected to port in San Diego this week to conduct deep cleaning and disinfecting of the vessel\u2019s tight quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No sailors assigned to Kidd have needed the use of a ventilator or warranted a transfer to an intensive care unit, Navy officials said Monday. Remaining crew members are using N95 masks and personal protective equipment in accordance to guidelines provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTesting continues, and we expect additional cases,\u201d the Navy said Friday. \u201cAll measures are being taken to evaluate the extent of the COVID-19 transmission on the ship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first sailor to be medically evacuated \u201cis already improving and will self-isolate,\u201d said Rear Adm.

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\">Approximately 55 percent of the destroyer\u2019s crew is awaiting testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The outbreak onboard Kidd comes in the wake of the Navy concluding 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\">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.
