Two Maldivians who had close contact with former Manchester United Midfielder Marouane Fellaini test negative for Covid-19.
The Belgian National tested positive for the virus earlier this month after going back from his holiday here in the Maldives.
Speaking to the media earlier tonight, official spokesperson on Covid-19 related updates Mr. Mabrouk Abdul Azeez said 20 people who had close contact with Fellaini has been identified. He said this include five resort staff from One and Only Reethi Rah resort where the footballer holidayed and that the staff were no in self-isolation.
Mabrouk also said the remaining 15 contacts were Velanaa International Airport personnel and that two of them have been moved to Velidhoo isolation facility for testing. Mabrouk confirmed that both their samples came back negative for Covid-19.
The chinese super league star came to Maldives on the 8th of this month having gone back on the 12th of March. While he tested positive for Covid-19 on the 20th of this month, Mr. Mabrouk said yesterday that it is highly likely that he contracted the virus upon his arrival in China after leaving Maldives. But he also said that contact tracing would be done as part of the preventive measures undertaken by HPA.
