The virtual option is available for all Department of Defense Education Activity students in kindergarten through 12th grade, though it is primarily geared toward those who are especially vulnerable to the virus, according to a letter to parents Monday from Joan K. Mendel Elementary School on Yokota Air Base, Japan. Sign-ups for all regions begin March 23, with full-time virtual school enrollments limited to 2,000 students in the entire DODEA system, Pacific district spokeswoman Miranda Ferguson told Stars and Stripes via email Monday.

WWW.MHCE.US Monthly Newsletter | 5 Most sailors aboard the U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer Chafee have been placed under quarantine in San Diego hotel rooms following a CO- VID-19 outbreak among the crew, according to Navy officials. An unspecified number of sailors assigned to the Hawaii-based ship have tested positive and have been isolating off the ship, according to Third Fleet spokesman Cmdr. Sean Robertson. Earlier, officials had said about a dozen personnel had tested positive. The rest of the crew received tests on Friday in response to the outbreak. "In order to ensure the health of the force and guarantee mission readiness, most of the crew members assigned to USS Chafee have been placed in a Restriction-of-Movement (ROM) status in hotels in the local San Diego area," Robertson said. "A caretaker crew will remain aboard in order to support the ship's operational and material readiness, and execute necessary support functions." The ship will also be cleaned, he said. None of the infected sailors have required hospitalization, Robertson said. The ship has been in San Diego for training exercises.
