Ongoing COVID-19 viral pandemic in the Maldives
The COVID-19 pandemic in the Maldives is part of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19 ) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 ). The virus was confirmed to have spread to the Maldives on 7 March 2020 from a 69-year-old Italian tourist who had returned to Italy after spending holidays in Kuredu Resort & Spa.[ 1] [ 2] The Health Protection Agency of the Maldives confirmed two cases in the Maldives, both employees of the resort. Following this, the hotel was locked down with several tourists stranded on the island.[ 3] As of 11 March, the islands resorts of Kuredu, Vilamendhoo , Batalaa and Kuramathi island have also been placed under temporary quarantine. Schools have been closed as a precaution.[ 4]
Cases in the country spiked after a cluster emerged in the country's migrant worker community's dense living quarters, mostly composed of Bangladeshi, Indian and Nepali migrant workers in May 2020.[ 5] 2,420 foreigners have tested positive in the country with 1,857 Bangladeshi migrant workers have tested positive for the virus.[ 6] The Maldivian government plans to relocate 3,000 Bangladeshi foreign workers to other islands in order to enable social distancing.[ 7]
Background
On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, which was reported to the WHO on 31 December 2019.[ 8] [ 9]
The case fatality ratio for COVID-19 has been much lower than SARS of 2003 ,[ 10] [ 11] but the transmission has been significantly greater, with a significant total death toll.[ 12] [ 10]

Quarantine facilities
The Maldivian government turned the resort island of Villivaru in the Kaafu Atoll into a quarantine facility, described as "the world's first coronavirus resort", where patients would enjoy a luxurious stay and free medical care.[ 26] [ 27]
According to Minister of Tourism Ali Waheed , the Maldives had 2,288 beds available for quarantine as of late March 2020.[ 27]
Impact
The Maldives' economy is dependent on tourism, which dropped severely due to travel restrictions amid the pandemic. Experts warned of an economic contraction and possible difficulties paying back foreign debt, especially to China and India.[ 28]
Migrant workers in Maldives have been reported to face harsh treatment from their employers, like wage theft, unsafe living and working condition, passport confiscation, and deceptive recruitment practices. According to the investigation by Human Rights Watch , these migrant labor abuses have worsened due to COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in job loss and forced labor without any pay.[ 29]
