[Royal Caribbean Cruise Passenger Found to be False Positive]
The coronavirus test that was run on an 83-year-old Singaporean passenger aboard the Royal Caribbean cruise ship "the Quantum of the Seas" has been confirmed as a false positive after multiple tests showed him to be negative.
The Singaporean health authority said all close contacts of the passenger are also negative and canceled the isolation measures placed on the passengers and crew onboard the ship. The cruise had to return to Singapore two days ago in the middle of a four-day tour because the 83-year-old man reported to the onboard medical center with diarrhea, and a mandatory coronavirus test came back positive. Local medical experts said the test equipment onboard the cruise ship is not as reliable as what is used in laboratories. Royal Caribbean International's directors said the company is going to work with governments to improve the test process.

新加坡卫生部昨天表示，经过多次采样复核后发现，被确诊的83岁男子检测结果为"假阳性"，并未感染新冠病毒，其密切接触者也都检测呈阴性。
新卫生部已经取消此前发出的隔离令。分析认为，邮轮所用一体化检测仪的准确度无法"比肩"实验室仪器，且难以借助第二检测平台复核结果等多重因素，可能导致结果不正确。
邮轮公司表示，接下来将继续与政府合作，以"优化"病毒检测流程。不少预订了此后行程的民众也表示，对防疫措施有信心，打算按计划出海。
