The Covid-19 virus has infected a large number of sailors aboard the Queen Elizabeth II of the British Navy, the world’s most powerful warship.
About 100 sailors on board the aircraft carrier have been diagnosed with Covid infection.
Several vessels, including that one, are scheduled to sail to several countries around the world. Infected persons have also been identified from several other ships accompanying the voyage.
Commenting on this, the UK Secretary of Defense, Ben Wallace, said that all sailors on the voyage had been given both doses.
He said steps have been taken to control the epidemic.
