More than 10 per cent of US carrier's crew test positive for virus: NavyThe aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt has been docked in Guam since its former captain blew the whistle on the coronavirus outbreak onboard. [Image: AFP]More than 10 percent of the 4,800 crew of the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier have tested positive for the coronavirus, the Navy said Saturday, days after the navy chief resigned over his mishandling of the outbreak. "92 percent of the TR crew have been tested. As of today, 550 were positive, 3,673 were negative," a US Navy spokesman told AFP. The removal of Crozier, respected in the military and popular with his crew, was seen as heavy-handed and decided too quickly before an investigation was carried out.
