Eight additional sailors tested positive again on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sailors had previously returned to the ship, which has been sidelined in Guam as leadership works to get the crew free of the novel coronavirus and back to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like the rest of the crew who had come back onboard, the five had been self-monitoring and following social distancing protocols before they tested positive, Navy spokesman Cmdr. Clayton Doss said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese five sailors developed influenza-like illness symptoms and did the right things reporting to medical for evaluation,\u201d Doss said. \u201cThe sailors were immediately removed from the ship and placed back in isolation, their close contacts were mapped, and they are receiving the required medical care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doss added that \u201ca small number of other sailors who came in close contact with these individuals were also removed from the ship and tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey will remain in quarantine pending retest results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Saturday, a Navy official confirmed to the Associated Press that eight additional sailors had tested positive again, raising to 13 the number of sailors who appear to have become infected a second time. The Navy official was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a

announced Thursday they will only announce &quot;significant changes&quot; aboard those ships.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/05\/14\/politics\/sailors-return-uss-roosevelt-test-positive\/index.html\" target=_blank>CNN<\/a> reported Thursday that 18 TR sailors had been removed after the five retested positive but officials declined to confirm that number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether the five afflicted sailors were reinfected or still had the virus after multiple negative tests remains under investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navy officials point out that TR sailors have been tested more than any other sailors in the Navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chief Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman acknowledged Friday that dealing with COVID-19 \u201chas been a learning process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a very stubborn infectious disease,\u201d he said, crediting the ship\u2019s testing, contact tracing and surveillance systems with getting those twice-positive sailors promptly off the ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re taking every step possible to get the ship fully clean and fully ready,\u201d Hoffman added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putting those five sailors who retested positive in any kind of context remains difficult since the Navy stopped updating the number of sailors testing positive aboard the TR on April 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On that date, there were 1,102 active cases aboard the carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy reported 1,308 active cases in the ranks as of Thursday, which included seven hospitalizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of Thursday, 889 sailors had recovered, according to Navy figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since an outbreak on the ship in March forced it into port in Guam, leading to the firing of the <a
