A positive COVID-19 result from a female patient at the Royal Melbourne Hospital prompted immediate action on Saturday.
As many as 30 staff at the Royal Melbourne Hospital have come out of self-isolation after an initial positive COVID-19 test result was shown to be a false positive.
The Department of Health and Human Services says the initial low positive test result for the female patient was reviewed by the Expert Review Panel.
A department spokesperson says the second test returned a negative result.
Staff were sent immediately into isolation as a precautionary measure upon news of the initial positive result.
