The Goa government on Friday said

60 of 62 crew members of cruise ship Discovery Marella who reached the state recently have tested negative for the novel coronavirus while tests of two have been stalled due to technical issues.

The crew of the ship, which was stranded at Mumbai port, was brought by road to Goa on Tuesday.

"Samples of 62 sailors were tested at the Virology lab in GMC. 60 samples were reported negative. Due to a technical snag, 2 samples will be retested, reports of which are awaited," state health minister Vishwajit Rane tweeted.
