Male’, Maldives — The Aviation Security Command (ASC) has asserted that the Command is deeply saddened to hear false accusations that the raising cluster in Addu City is due to an employee of ASC who came to Addu City via special permit.
The ASC denied the accusation of the Mayor of Addu City, Abdullah Sodiq who said that the spread of Covid-19 is related to a team of trainers of ASC who arrived to Addu under a special travel permit.
ASC agreed that two employees of their Training Unit 2 had arrived to Addu City on February 2nd, 2021. However, they noted that employees were brought to this training by adhering to the guidelines given by the Health Protection Agency (HPA) after a negative PCR test was presented.
The false accusation spread saying that the Hithadhoo cluster is due to the employees of ASC is a very irresponsible act.
