The Health Protection Agency (HPA) of Maldives has urged Maldivian Umrah pilgrims to seek immediate medical care if they develop severe symptoms, especially respiratory issues, within 14 days of returning. Health guidelines include maintaining hygiene, avoiding close contact with the sick, and informing doctors of recent travel for accurate diagnosis. With hundreds of returnees expected in early April, the HPA continues to monitor the situation and advises rest, hydration, and caution with medication.
