Maldives Police Service has stated that they will take action against those who violate the lockdown in the Greater Male' Region.

Speaking during press conference today, Assistant Commissioner of Police Ismail Naveen stressed that they will take action against those who violate the lockdown, including fines.

He further added that strict measures will be taken this time round, in comparison to the first curfew in the region weeks ago.

HPA had issued a 24-hour lockdown of the Greater Male' Region after a Maldivian in Male' City had tested positive for Covid-19.
