A 28-year-old male British national who tested positive for Covid-19 a day after he arrived in Singapore first reported that he had symptoms while in France on March 11.

However, he later flew to Singapore, where he was referred to the National Centre of Infectious Diseases (NCID) upon arrival on March 15.

Subsequent test results confirmed his Covid-19 infection on March 16.
