The seven have been isolated off the ship, Cmdr. John Fage, a 3rd Fleet spokesman, told The San Diego Union-Tribune in an email Monday.

The Mercy’s ability to receive patients has not been affected, Fage said.

“The ship is following protocols and taking every precaution to ensure the health and safety of all crewmembers and patients on board,” he said.
