Fox News
The U.S. Naval Academy has moved 98 midshipmen recovering from COVID-19 to the Hilton Garden Inn in Annapolis, Maryland in an effort to provide additional space for quarantining and isolation at the college's Bancroft Hall dormitory.
According to a news release Monday, the Naval Academy will house two midshipmen per hotel room. Transportation to and from the hotel will be provided by USNA buses or vans. The impacted midshipmen, who are from a variety of classes within the brigade, will be required to stay in their own room except when escorted outdoors at set times for "wellness purposes" and are prohibited from having guests or food deliveries. The midshipmen will attend classes virtually and will continue to be monitored twice daily. The Hilton Garden Inn was chosen due to its "robust COVID protocols," Naval Academy officials said in the release.More Related News
