According to a recommendation by the U.S. Department of Defense to prevent the spread of Corona 19, the Department of Defense staff, including soldiers, also issued instructions for wearing cloth masks, Bloomberg News reported on the 5th (local time).

According to the Department of Defense guidelines, employees of the Department of Defense and affiliated organizations should immediately wear a cloth face shield if it is difficult to maintain a 6-foot (1.8 m) distance from public places or workplaces.

Defense Minister Mark Esper appeared on ABC today and said, "It is impossible to keep a social distance in places like submarines."

"We will provide all means to protect our troops and trust our commanders," said Esper.

To prevent the spread of Corona 19, the CDC previously advised Americans to use a non-surgical cloth mask when going out.

Meanwhile, the New York Times reported that Captain Brett Crozier, who struck SOS at the top of the US Navy aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt's emergency on Corona 19, was struck on the same day.
