Sailors assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) depart a hotel for the ship after weeks of cleaning and essential watch standing April 29. Thousands of Sailors from Theodore Roosevelt were moved to local hotels in an effort to implement an aggressive mitigation strategy to minimize the spread of COVID-19 and protect the health of the Sailors. Theodore Roosevelt's essential watch standers and cleaning team conducted a crew swap April 29, turning over a clean ship to a COVID negative crew after completion of their off-ship quarantine or isolation.
