Crew member with COVID 19 suspicion medevaced

A man with suspicious symptoms of the new coronavirus was medevaced from the 'Ocean Dawn' in the middle of the Baja California Sea, by the Mexican Navy, about 63 kilometers south of Ensenada. The operation was carried out when the Second Naval Region received a distress alert from the General Command and Control Center of the Secretariat of Marine on April 26. The man had suspicious symptoms of coronavirus, such as severe headache and pressed chest. Therefore the "Marine Rescue Plan" was activated and the departure of a boat was ordered as well as the take-off of a helicopter with Naval Health personnel and a Search and Rescue swimmer from a helicopter, to medevac the man. Once the naval personnel had contact with the longliner, they placed the patient on a stretcher, gave first aid on board the aircraft and took him to the heliport of the Second Naval Region where an ambulance was waiting to transfer him to a local hospital for specialized medical attention. The man was transferred in an isolation capsule.
