Chuang said the Taichung case is a Singaporean marine surveyor in his 40s, who in the past few weeks boarded boats in ports in central and southern Taiwan for work.
The man tested negative in polymerase chain reaction tests on Monday and Saturday last week, but tested positive on Thursday, with a cycle threshold (Ct) value of 23,
