Scoop: A sailor assigned to the USS Nimitz tested positive for Covid-19 last week after experiencing symptoms while on board, making the Nimitz the 4th carrier to report a positive case. The positive case comes as the ship is getting ready to deploy. politico.com/news/2020/04/0…
The Nimitz has been conducting an onboard quarantine of sorts since April 1, with all crew being ordered onto the ship "to minimize potential COVID exposure" and "maximize warfighting readiness and ensure the health of the force," per a spokesman. Screenings underway, but...
some are concerned about a potential repeat of disaster on the Roosevelt, which now has more than 150 positive Covid-19 cases and is working to evacuate thousands of sailors and quarantine them in hotels in Guam.

Scoop: The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency warned contractors this week that a China-linked hacking group has targeted 38 cleared facilities--i.e. those w/access to classified info--including those specializing in healthcare technology. politico.com/news/2020/04/1…
Cleared contractor facilities often receive warnings about hacking attempts from the FBI and DCSA, but the notices rarely attribute the malicious activity to a specific group or nation-state as the DCSA did with Electric Panda/China. politico.com/news/2020/04/1…

Breaking: The administration has placed a moratorium on USAID’s overseas shipments of personal protective gear. Move comes after US asked Thailand for help last week only to be told that a US shipment of the same supplies was already on its way to Bangkok. politico.com/news/2020/03/3…
The government has yet to curtail exports by US companies, however—roughly 280 million masks in US warehouses were purchased by foreign buyers on Monday alone, per Forbes. FEMA told us it “has not actively encouraged or discouraged U.S. companies from exporting overseas.”
FEMA is now asking USAID to send back most of the reserves of protective gear that USAID has stored in warehouses in Dubai and Miami for use in the U.S. More here from me, @GabbyOrr_ @dlippman @nahaltoosi: politico.com/news/2020/03/3…
