Maldives has reported a total of 519 Covid-19 cases thus far. While 18 have recovered, there has been one Covid-19 related death. An 83-year-old woman passed away on April 30; while her test results had come back after her death, authorities are investigating negligence claims.
Earlier on Saturday, it was revealed that the first samples taken from a patient admitted at Dharumavantha Hospital was negative. While a second round of testing is done prior to the release of Covid-19 patients, authorities had said that they were awaiting the results of this.
While this patient has been moved to DH17, there are five others hospitalized.
