The Maldives on Saturday recorded 47 new cases of COVID-19.
According to the Health Protection Agency (HPA), the new cases are of 43 Maldivians and 4 foreigners. This brings the total number of positive cases to 2,664.
HPA also announced 30 new recoveries, bringing the total number of recoveries to 2,268. The number of active cases is 368, and 13 deaths have been recorded to date.
60,217 samples have been tested for COVID-19 thus far. Authorities said 330 individuals are currently at isolation facilities while 97 individuals are at quarantine facilities.
The Maldives relaxed most of the precautionary measures implemented to stop the spread of the virus after the number of positive cases began declining. However, the numbers seem to be on the rise once again. The archipelago recorded the most number of cases in a single day after lockdown was relaxed earlier on Friday with 64 new cases
