"I tested positive again, unfortunately, yesterday...so Monday they'll give me another test," Carl Goldman said in a video interview. "I'll have to go through three tests in a row, 24 hours apart, before I'm declared free of the virus."
Carl and his wife, Jeri, were quarantined aboard a coronavirus-stricken cruise ship in Japan last month. The couple was diverted to Nebraska after Carl became ill and came down with a fever two hours into the flight to Travis Air Force Base in Northern California.

The Goldmans were among some 380 Americans who boarded a flight on Feb. 16 from Tokyo, where the passengers were quarantined on the Diamond Princess for nearly two weeks.
Goldman, who owns a local radio station in Santa Clarita, said he's able to work remotely using his laptop.
Jeri is expected to return back to Southern California Monday.
