US Defense Secretary Responds To The Request For Assistance From The USS Roosevelt Captain: Did Not Look Carefully, No Need To Withdraw Troops

According to recent reports from the US media, the US carrier Theodore Roosevelt docked in Guam has a new coronary pneumonia epidemic. Perform evacuation and isolation. In response to this news, U.S. Secretary of Defense Esper said in an interview with ABC News on March 31 that he believes that he has not reached the point of evacuating personnel. Esper said he hadn't had time to read Crozer's letter carefully, but he would rely on the naval command system to assess the situation and ensure support for personnel on board. Esper also stated that the current goal is to control the virus, and no personnel on board are seriously ill. The US military has not announced the number of infections on the "Theodore Roosevelt" aircraft carrier, but Fox News reported that as many as 200 people tested positive for the virus.
