President inspects 2nd COVID-19 facility in Hulhumale'

President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih has visited the second COVID-19 facility under development in Hulhumale'.

The suburb is the location of the largest COVID-19 facility in the Maldives right now. The second facility is being developed in a building previously used for distribution purposes. The facility is being converted due to the significant increase in COVID-19 cases in the country starting from late April.
