HPA announced that N. Manadhoo Island is under monitoring due to a positive case from a person in home quarantine.

Although the person who tested was in home quarantine, the whole island is under monitoring due to the infected person violating the terms of home quarantine before receiving the test result. It has been reported that he has been seen in public and meeting with people, since the day the test sample was taken. He was already outside when HPA called to inform the test result.

In the statement by the director general of public health, Ms. Maimoona announced the island is under monitoring, confirming the due reason as further investigations related to Covid-19. This statement advises everyone to cooperate with government entities regarding the matter.

The island has been under monitoring since last night and without the approval of HPA, traveling in and out of the island is restricted.
