A 10,000-ton amphibious dock landing ship carrying more than 700 crew members of the United States Navy was unable to berth at the port due to an outbreak of epidemic virus and was forced to drift at sea. According to the US Business Insider website on March 14, the landing vessel of the amphibious dock, Fort McHenry, has been quarantined in the Persian Gulf for more than two months due to a rare mumps virus outbreak.
Reported that at least 25 of the more than 700 crew members on the ship were diagnosed with mumps. Symptoms of the disease first appeared in December last year, and 25 of them included the crew and Marines of the ship. These patients receive isolation treatment on board, while cleaning and disinfecting their living and working areas. Business Insider also quoted CNN reports that no one had to get off the ship for treatment, but it was unusual for an American warship to spend more than two months at sea without docking at the port.
The 5th Fleet of the U.S. Navy said in an e-mail in response to "Business Insider" that at present the infected persons are not in danger of life. The patients either have recovered or are expected to recover completely. Since the first case was found at the end of last year, 24 of the 25 infected persons have resumed duty. The U.S. Navy told Business Insider that for safety reasons, the ship's port was cancelled, the ship was isolated to the sea, and medical personnel controlled the situation through various efforts. To be prudent, it is necessary to ensure that more than 700 crew members of the McHenry Fort receive enhanced immunization against measles, mumps and rubella.
