Th. Kinbidhoo has been placed under monitoring mechanisms for the third time subsequent to a two-year-old who travelled from Male’ City with family for the Eid al-Adha holidays testing positive for COVID-19.

President of Kinbidhoo Council Ali Hussain confirmed to Sun that the island was put under monitoring mechanisms yesterday.
