HPA Informs Civil Servants to Complete Vaccinations

Health Protection Agency (HPA) has informed all employees of state-owned enterprises to complete their vaccinations.

An HPA circular stated that enough vaccine doses have been obtained for the entire eligible population under the government’s campaign to vaccinate all residents of Maldives. HPA has appealed for all citizens to make use of the opportunity and get vaccinated, stressing the importance of vaccination to protect against COVID-19 and minimize the danger of infection.

As discussions to ease restrictions for vaccinated civil servants have been initiated, only those who have been vaccinated are allowed to enter schools from September 1. Those who have been vaccinated are also no longer required to quarantine when traveling.

Around 70 percent of the population has received the first dose.
