The Coast Guard cutter Munro had just embarked on a national security mission to patrol the maritime boarder between the United States and Russia in late June 2020, when one of its guardsman was diagnosed with COVID-19. Contract tracing led to more than a dozen other members of the ship's crew being ordered into quarantine for two weeks.
