Personnel from a second sub and a floating workshop are also in quarantine, underscoring the dangers the virus poses to naval forces worldwide.

THE WAR ZONE
RUSSIAN MINISTRY OF DEFENSE
The entire crew of one of the Russian Navy’s eight Project 949A Oscar II class guided missile submarines is reportedly in quarantine over concerns they may have been exposed to the COVID-19 novel coronavirus. This underscores the very serious implications that the rapidly expanding pandemic is almost certain to have on the readiness of military forces around the world, including the U.S. military, as time goes on, something the War Zone has already explored in detail.
B-port, an online Russian news outlet based in the northern port city of Murmansk, was first to report that the crew of the Oscar II class submarine Orel was in quarantine on Mar. 26, 2020. Russian Navy officials made this decision after learning that a civilian contractor who had visited the boat on official business had come into contact with another individual who tested positive for COVID-19
the nursing home clusters just churn my stomach. Who brought the infections into the homes? returning workers? if so, why weren’t precautions taken - like barring them from returning to work for two weeks. If visiting family - why weren’t precautions taken - like barring them from visiting? These are infections that were caught in March, not Feb, and likely after March 15. No excuse for dropping the ball on our seniors. None. Furious!
