Five Charles de Gaulle sailors are still hospitalized on Wednesday, several weeks after the return of the aircraft carrier on which an epidemic of coronavirus has declared, said the Ministry of the Armed Forces in a briefing. The ministry says 943 sailors hit by Covid-19 in recent days are now healed. Half of the crew so far placed in quarantine in military buildings near Toulon is now homebound.

"At the same time, work on the disinfection of the aircraft carrier has been completed, a test campaign by the battalion of Marseille firefighters has made it possible to certify the absence of the virus on board the vessel," said the ministry.
