A Genting Cruise Lines ship has returned back to Singapore after a 40-year-old passenger onboard tested COVID-19 positive. This led to nearly 3,000 passengers and crew on board confined to their cabins through most of Wednesday. The guest suspected of having COVID-19 had tested negative in a mandatory, pre-departure antigen rapid test before the ship set sail for a three-night cruise on Sunday. Only essential service crew with personal protective equipment were being allowed limited movement within the ship, Dream Cruises said. In December, passengers on Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas vessel were held in their cabins for more than 16 hours in Singapore after a suspected COVID-19 case on board.
