Maldives Builds Luxury Covid-19 Quarantine Resort

The Maldives government has built a luxury resort in just 10 days by around 50 workers on an island called Villivaru in the Kaafu Atoll, according to the South China Morning Post. There are 30 air-conditioned rooms available for tourists who test positive for coronavirus.

The country, which has 9 confirmed positive cases so far, is providing quarantine and doctor care free of charge for patients and includes three room service meals, flat-screen television and a fully stocked minibar.

The government has also prevented travellers who have been in Mainland China (not including Hong Kong), Iran, South Korea (North Gyeongsang and South Gyeongsang Provinces), Italy and Bangladesh in the last 14 days from entering the country.
