Nearly 50 crew members on Everett-based USS Kidd test positive for coronavirus

Dozens of crew members on the Everett-based USS Kidd have contracted COVID-19. Nearly 50 crew members tested positive for coronavirus.

The U.S. Navy is now doing battle with an invisible enemy that has infiltrated the ship.

"Make no mistake. KIDD is in a fight right now, against COVID and against anyone out there who might want to capitalize on what they perceive as a weakness," Cmdr. Matt Noland posted to Facebook.

The Kidd, which is based in Everett, has a crew of about 350 people. It had been on a mission targeting drug traffickers in Central America.

to be taken care of on and off the ship.

"The second deployed U.S. warship to suffer a COVID-19 outbreak pulled into San Diego on Tuesday to begin the process of offloading, testing, isolating and treating the crew and disinfecting the ship to prepare to head back to sea."
