Suspected virus cases in resort, guesthouse

The government has imposed monitoring mechanisms on a guesthouse and a resort in the country after suspected cases of the Covid-19 virus.

In a news conference last night, government spokesperson Mabrouq Azeez stated that a suspected case of the virus from a resort named Rihiveli Dream Hotel and a guesthouse named Seven Corals in K. Maafushi has led the authorities to place the two establishments under monitoring mechanisms.

Mabrouq also announced that monitoring mechanisms on a safari named as Arc Nobel were also lifted. Currently, three safaris are being monitored after suspected cases of the pandemic virus. They are named Island Safari, VS Glory Cargo and SY Stars.

The Maldives has confirmed 18 cases of the Covid-19. 13 of these individuals have made full recoveries. The 13 individuals that recovered are all foreigners from resorts and safaris in the country. Currently, only three locals remain positive and under treatment for the virus in the Maldives.

The three locals had all returned from the United Kingdom before being tested positive for the virus. Two tourists later tested positive for the virus also departed from the country after completing their quarantine periods. Their test results were received after they had already departed from the country.
