  1. There are contingency plans in place for things like a disease spreading onto a military ship. It's a standard policy any sane modern navy has in place, and you can trace its earliest origins straight back to the age of sail.

  3. COVID-19 is the epidemic, not the virus; the technical name of the virus is SARS-CoV-2, which nobody uses to avoid confusion with the old SARS virus
