Covid-🇲🇻

When tourists to Muslim-majority Maldives, where the quality of its health infrastructure is questionable, needn’t serve any quarantine on arrival, but have to bear any medical costs should they be infected with the coronavirus—a catch-22 situation where they are most likely to be buried on one of the islands should they fail to recover even with access to a China-made ventilator.

With India donating their homegrown half-baked vaccine to Maldives as part of their vaccine diplomacy to sideline China, and with the local population getting inoculated, the odds of half-hearted budget tourists facing a Covid-🇲🇻 situation are lower.
