Maldives Could be Added to United Kingdom’s Amber List in August 2021

The Maldives could come off the United Kingdom’s red list in August 2021. According to The Daily Express, there have been reports that the island nation could move to the ‘amber list’ before September 2021.

UK’s Daily Express reported that as COVID cases in the Maldives is nowhere near as high in May, the island nation’s status as a red list country could end at the next review. Furthermore, Reports from the web suggests that the result of the next traffic light system review is expected on either 4th August or 5th August.

The Maldives has a good chance of reverting to amber in August. So keep the hope alive. Be warned that if your flights are via Dubai or Doha, you will be required to go into hotel quarantine on arrival in the UK because they are red-listed.
The Independent’s travel expert Simon Calder told The Daily Express.

While the final decision is still unclear, but in the case that the Maldives is moved to the amber list, fully vaccinated travellers can visit the tropical holiday destination without needing to quarantine once they return to England.

Although we do not expect heroic stories to come out of a vacation at a Maldives resort, recent incidents have shown that anything can happen. Yes, even when you’re on vacation. The heroic stories of two couples, Mr. Jordan Daniel Van Dyk and Ms. Denielle De Bruyn have started circulating across the Maldives. The couple came to the Maldives for their honeymoon at the beautiful Dusit Thani Maldives. However, it appears that the honeymooners are leaving the Maldives with more than just honeymoon memories.

According to the Baa Atoll Police Station, on the 28th of April, the couple witnessed a staff member falling from a water villa deck into the ocean while on duty. If you’re ever stayed at a Maldives resort, you can understand the fear of falling from the deck into the ocean. Although the water below is beautiful, when caught off guard, the ocean can be a scary place. It appeared that the staff member was in a state of distress and was struggling in the water. In these situations, people do one of two things. Wait for someone else to take action as they stand by, or immediately jump in to avoid a sad situation.

Despite the challenging circumstances, Mr. Van Dyk and Ms. De Bruyn acted swiftly and courageously, coming to the aid of the drowning staff member. There is no doubt that this swift response by the couple was heroic, averting what could have been a tragic event at Dusit Thani Maldives.

Dusit Thani Maldives has acknowledged the bravery and swift action of the honeymooning couple, awarding them for their bravery in saving the staff member of the resort.
