Air Force moving test kits for HHS and working to isolate crews from coronavirus

The Air Force reported seven active-duty airmen have tested positive for the coronavirus. But global operations, the movement of test kits, and the capacity to transport infected persons have not been disrupted, said Air Force chief of staff Gen. David L. Goldfein.

“Our numbers right now are low, but we are taking it very seriously,” Goldfein said in a telephone briefing with Pentagon reporters. He then invited the surgeon general of the Air Force, Lt. Gen. Dorothy A. Hogg, to deliver a more sobering assessment.
