Covid-19 Spokesperson Mabrouq Azeez has revealed that about 300 people have registered to go to Bangladesh.

Speaking during a press conference Mabrouq noted that works of transporting undocumented Bangladeshi workers are currently ongoing and that those works faced many challenges.

He noted that while 300 undocumented workers have already registered to return back to Bangladesh, it would be rather difficult to find seats for them to fly back.

He stressed that it was more important to evacuate Maldivians in Bangladesh right now and added that it was essential to find a way to send a repatriation flight to the country.

Foreign Minister Abdulla Shahid had also discussed on the repatriation of undocumented workers with the Foreign Minister of Bangladesh.
