Four Maldivian locals and three Bangladeshi nationals are among the COVID related deaths so far. The number of Bangladeshi nationals tested positive in the Maldives, has reached 1,003, around 55 per cent of the total cases. There are 186 Indian nationals also tested positive in the island nation while Maldivians constitute around one-third of the cases.

At least 488 people have recovered bringing down the number of active cases to 1339.
