According to the Captain's email, sailors were tested, and results known the next day. I don't know what equipment they had onboard the Roosevelt, but the quick turnaround might indicate the type of test. These tests were also performed around Mar29.

Regardless, it’s going to be extremely interesting now that countries start doing random serological tests. I read today about a group of Swedish athletes who visited a competition in Wuhan in October and some developed severe respiratory issues afterwards that couldn’t be diagnosed. Edit: 5 were tested and 1 was positive which was interpreted as being a later infection. So no October infection.
