A jump with Corona injuries in the Maldives
The Maldives, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean with one of the busiest capitals in the world, has seen a rapid rise in cases of coronavirus over the past few weeks.
Health officials expect that more than 77,000 people, or a quarter of those currently living in the country, will be infected, with more than 5,000 likely to need intensive care.
Due to the rapid jump with Corona injuries in the Maldives, the United Arab Emirates was the first country that provided it with medical supplies, in order to benefit the healthcare stuff in their mission against COVID-19.
The Maldives reported its first case in March, and as of mid-April, so it turned all resorts into quarantine centres, in order to contain the virus inside the isolated resort islands that had been turned into quarantine centres.
Its finances are extremely crowded, with more than 150,000 people living in an area of 5.8 square kilometres.
The government has taken precautions to prevent the virus from entering the capital by suspending entry visas upon arrival and checking people who enter through airports and arrive from other islands.
