The government previously announced that safari workers and resort staff can leave the vessel after 14 days quarantine from the departure of its last guests and the approval of Health Protection Agency (HPA). The employees of these resorts and vessels have been given approval to evacuate the properties.

In order to contain the COVID-19 outbreak, authorities have ceased travel of any persons to and from resorts and safaris to any residential island within the Maldives. Maldives has also banned the entry of all foreign passenger vessels to the country. The government has taken a number of precautionary measures against the rapidly escalating state of the global COVID-19 pandemic.
