Maldives has recorded four deaths from Covid-19 with three locals above 80-years of age dying of the illness along with a Bangladeshi national aged 33.
The news of the recoveries come as the government looks to ease some of the restrictive measures it has taken against Covid-19.

Also, the government is contemplating whether or not to relax the lockdown currently implemented in the Male’ Area where the virus is rampant.
