Operation CoViD-19: Missions of Mercy & Comfort

USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) and Comfort (T-AH 20) will not act as quarantine/isolation ships as first feared, but will try to ease the burden of land based hospitals dealing with CoViD-19 patients by taking onboard people who are not sick with the CoronaVirus.
