Possibility of four variants circulating in the Maldives: HEOC The Health Emergency Operation Centre (HEOC) has stated that it is possible that four different variants of COVID-19 are circulating in the Maldives.
Speaking at a press conference held Wednesday night, member of HEOC’s Technical Advisory Group (TAG) Dr. Nazla Musthafa said the COVID-19 variant identified in the UK is circulating in the Maldives. While four different variants have been identified across the world, it is possible that all four variants are present in the Maldives, said Dr. Nazla.
“We will know more regarding the variants present in the country once we carry out sequencing via the kits we have with us. The kits already show signs that the UK variant is present in the Maldives. Therefore, we can say the variant is present in the Maldives. However, while there are four variants which are the UK, South African, Brazilian and the Danish variant, we have sent [samples] for sequencing , said Dr. Nazla.
A meeting conducted by the Health Emergency Operation Centre of Ministry of Health and Population, on February 10, has concluded that only government hospitals can treat Covid-19 patients from now on.
