On Saturday night, authorities announced that the current epidemic monitoring score of Maldives is at seven, indicating a more stable situation compared to the month of August when the number rose to an alarming nine.

Speaking at the press briefing held by Health Emergency Operation Centre (HEOC), the Technical Advisory Group (TAG)'s representative and Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH)'s doctor Ahmed Shaheed described that the situation in Maldives is "stabilising", based on the current trends.

"But it is too soon to say [the situation] is improving", he added, noting that despite certain upswings, the overall picture does not allow for the public to revert back to their old habits, until a permanent solution is reached.
