A U.S. Navy hospital ship docked in New York will change its process for screening patients after a report claimed that just 20 people are being treated on the vessel, according to the Pentagon.
“The screening effort for the USNS Comfort will no longer require a negative test, but each patient will still be screened by temperature and a short questionnaire,” the Department of Defense (DoD) said in reference to the Navy’s Comfort ship that is docked off New York City.
