"Our naval assets continue to be mission-deployed in three dimensions, with all the networks and space assets functioning optimally. The Navy remains combat-ready, mission-capable and is in full readiness to partake in the national mission to fight the pandemic as well as to provide support to our friendly neighbours in the IOR," the Indian Navy said. All these sailors continue to remain asymptomatic and are being monitored at INHS Asvini, under the care of the best medical professionals. The Navy has also set up several quarantine facilities in naval premises at Mumbai, Goa, Kochi and Visakhapatnam for use by civilian and military use.
