The Health Protection Agency (HPA) has stated that two Maldivians who returned from China have been released after 14 days in quarantine.
The two locals were quarantined on February 25th under the global protocol being followed after recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO) as the epidemic has been spreading fast outside of China as well.
According to sources, both Maldivians were quarantined at the isolation facility in Farukolhufushi island and the Ministry of Health confirmed that neither of them has shown symptoms.
Nevertheless, they were quarantined for a period of 14-days as mandated as per the global protocol and released after the period was completed.
The disease, which surfaced in Wuhan City of Hubei Province in China, is not even close to being controlled in the mainland. Maldivians residing in Wuhan City were recently brought back, seven of whom were quarantined in Delhi, India before their return to the Maldives.
