An 83-year-old Singaporean passenger aboard a "cruise to nowhere" has re-tested negative for COVID-19 after a false positive halted the voyage, Singapore's Ministry of Health said.
The man had initially tested positive for the virus while aboard the Quantum of the Seas, operated by Royal Caribbean International.
That test has now been deemed negative, Singaporean authorities said in a statement on Thursday.
