The Health Protection Agency (HPA) has warned that air quality across the Maldives has deteriorated, with particularly poor conditions reported in the northern and central regions.
Citing updates from the Maldives Meteorological Service, HPA said the haze is expected to persist for the next five days.
The agency urged the public to limit outdoor activities and follow health guidelines. It advised seafarers and those spending extended time outdoors to take extra precautions, especially children, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory or heart conditions.
