More than 1,500 active duty troops have been diagnosed with coronavirus according to new statistics released by the Pentagon. And in the broader Department of Defense, including civilians, contractors and dependents, that number has reached 2,657, including seven deaths.

The 86 new cases of the virus among troops, which causes a disease known as COVID-19, represents one of the biggest jump in cases across the services to date, and comes as they continue to grapple with the spread of the pandemic amid concerns the department's response has been sluggish.

The Navy continues to have the largest number of infected troops with 460, an increase of 38 from the day before. Officials in Guam continue to assess and treat sailors and Marines from the USS Theodore Roosevelt docked there, which has more than 170 active cases as of Monday afternoon. Two-thirds of the crew have been tested as officials struggle to maintain the ship while also disembarking as many as 2,700 of the 4,800-member crew. They must also find accommodations for them on the island without further spreading the virus there.
