"If we did wind up with somebody that we either diagnosed as COVID-19 or thought was highly likely," Rotruck said,"we would be looking to send them off the ship and do appropriate preventative measures for any contact they had." "Our intention is just to pull in pier side and just transport patients by ground into the hospital ship," said Rotruck."We expect to be there within the week, and we anticipate being able to begin taking patients the day after we arrive. We definitely have a sense of urgency."
