With rising Covid-19 cases in India, many countries like Hong Kong, Canada, Singapore and Iran have temporarily banned flights from India to control the spread of the virus.
The latest on this list to impose new travel restrictions is the Maldives. In a tweet, the Ministry of Tourism announced that tourists from India have been suspended from staying at inhabited islands.
With effect from 27 April @HPA_mv suspends tourists travelling from #India to #Maldives from staying at tourist facilities in inhabited islands. We thank you for the support in our endeavour to make tourism safest possible with minimum inconvenience.

Hello Bollywood stars,

This is bad news.
Maldives has decided not to accept you.
Now, how will you post those sun-kissed, bikini selfies?
How will film journalists report that you broke the internet?
Not to worry.
You can make more inane Insta Reels and contribute for our nation. https://t.co/yindwJLBvL
