Good morning. Here are the latest Pentagon figures of test-confirmed #COVID19 afflicted employees of the Department of Defense. Contractors and civilians included.
Also, the Pentagon did this last night.
Guantanamo spokesman: Test swabs of suspected Coronovirus cases being flown off base, "and take two to four days for processing." No figures on how many have been sent.
The lone sailor who has tested positive was put in "restricted movement status soon after returning to the installation from travel."
Those people identified as having close contact with the sailor "have been notified and are in self-isolation at their residence." No figures.
Meantime, a week after restricting visits at the base hospital, the facility has begun curb-side prescription pickup at what they call "hospital circle," shown here with pomp in 2017. The pharmacy serving the 6,000 base residents is inside the small community hospital.
Other Gitmo efforts to contain the virus:
--The Navy has canceled next week's charter flights to and from Florida "due to #COVID19 concerns." Tomorrow's flight, however, is still a go.
--The base halted its free "Safe Ride" car service for booze drinkers "until further notice."
--The general in charge of the war court defense teams asked the prison to initiate video-teleconference legal meetings. (The admiral in charge halted all meetings until 2 weeks after the lawyer reaches the island outpost.)

--The base McDonalds is now drive-in (or walk-up) only.
