The surge in hospitalizations comes one day after the first Roosevelt sailor died due to complications related to COVID-19. The current deployment is the aircraft carrier's third overseas cruise in the last four years.

"We’ve taken nothing off the table." “COVID-19 or not, NORAD continues actively watching for threats and defending the homelands 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year."
