The entry of tourists has strengthened in the Maldives after an increase in coronavirus infections in more than a dozen resorts, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
The Indian Ocean archipelago reopened its islands from luxury hotels in mid-July after a month-long closing, and required visitors to undergo testing or carry a virus-free certificate upon entering the country.
Since then, 29 local workers and 16 foreigners tested positive in the spas, authorities said, where they were also isolated.
Under the new guidelines, all tourists will be required to submit a negative for Covid-19 upon arrival.
Tourism is the Maldives’ main economic engine and the government expected visitors to return after foreign flights restarted.
Only 5,200 tourists have visited the country in the month since July 15, a fraction of the monthly average of 141,000 before the pandemic.
Meanwhile, the Maldives has recorded more than 1,000 new infections over the following week, bringing the total number of cases to 8,003.Most infections since the beginning of the pandemic have occurred among poor migrant staff and the densely populated capital population of male.

A fairly American story with Nancy Pelosi photographed while managing at a hairdresser’s in San Francisco without a mask.

Given his role as a spokesperson for Democrat House and his usual messages to Americans to wear masks and follow instructions, this can have a significant impact.
Many think this may be just a moment at Dominic Cummings in the United States, where even Democrats who had followed the rules of the coronavirus are starting to stop.
The frontline fight against coronavirus in syrian government-controlled spaces is dying in increasing numbers due to a lack of non-public protective equipment, Human Rights Watch said.
The humanitarian organization reported several deaths of doctors in August as a result of covid-19-related symptoms, many of which did appear in government figures because no tests had been conducted.
“It is disconcerting that as the obituaries of the doctors and nurses who responded to the Covid-19 pandemic accumulate, official figures tell a story that doesn’t match the one on the ground,” said Sara Kayyali, HRW researcher.
Syria recorded 2,830 cases, adding 116 deaths, in government-controlled areas, yet the Health Ministry stated that it had the “capacity to … carry out large-scale testing in the provinces.”
HRW said evidence that official figures particularly underestimate the scale of the epidemic.
He said he showed the deaths of 33 doctors from Covid-19-related symptoms in August, while official figures showed 64 deaths among the general population.
“Doctors and nurses operating in government-controlled spaces said there was a severe shortage of supplies, especially in rural areas,” the New York-based control body said.

China’s aviation regulator has announced that it will resume direct flights to Beijing from 8 countries, Thailand, Cambodia, Greece, Denmark, Sweden and Canada from 3 September.
In March, the Chinese government ordered all foreign flights to Beijing to be diverted to airports as the first port of entry, as the capital intensified measures to combat imported infections.
The Civil Aviation Authority of China said that it would re-impose such restrictions if more than 3 passengers performed coronavirus screening on arrival and that the loading points on those flights would be strictly monitored.

Australia’s coronavirus access point, Victoria, prolonged its state of emergency for another six months as its weekly average of new infections decreased.
The Victorian parliamentary space passed the law by 20 to 19 votes to enlarge the state of emergency, strengthening the government’s powers to impose restrictions in the event of a pandemic. The government had asked for a 12-month extension.
