Navy leaders closed a schoolhouse on Naval Base San Diego on Saturday after three sailors tested positive for the new coronavirus, officials finally announced Tuesday.
Medical investigators have linked at three of the cases to the schoolhouse, which is why it’s closed indefinitely.
On March 14, a sailor from the amphibious warship Essex who was attending a course at Training Support Command tested positive for COVID-19, according to a prepared statement issued by Naval Education and Training Command.
He had been a student there since Feb. 6. He’s isolated at home, with his movement restricted, as are those who came into close contact with him, officials said.
Two additional cases involve a sailor at the training center and a sailor who was assigned to Naval Base Point Loma. The latter sailor showed no signs of the illness but was tested and the results were positive for COVID-19.
