Monitoring mechanisms on N. Holhudhoo and Henbadhoo lifted

Monitoring mechanisms on two islands in N. Atoll have been lifted by the government.

The islands are N. Holhudhoo and Henbadhoo. In a press conference tonight, the National Emergency Operations Center spokesperson Mabrouq Azeez stated that the islands have been returned to normal.

The islands were placed under the mechanisms in connection with a positive case of COVID-19 identified on the Amaazu Boat. The boat had traveled to several islands in the north of Maldives on April 15. 

The current islands under monitoring mechanisms are:

• Male' City
• K. Thulusdhoo
• Sh. Narudhoo
• Sh. Maaungoodhoo
• Sh. Milandhoo
• Sh. Feevah
• Sh. Funadhoo
• H. A. Thakandhoo
• N. Manadhoo

The Maldives has now confirmed 618 cases of COVID-19 with two deaths. 20 individuals have also made recoveries after being infected with the virus.
