Male’ City Council Postpones Annual Public Meeting Amid Health Concerns

The Male’ City Council has opted to delay its second annual public meeting, initially set for July 31, 2023, following a surge in vomiting and diarrhoea cases throughout Male’.

According to an official announcement released by the Council, this decision was taken to ensure public health and safety amid rising health concerns. The Council’s decision aligns with the guidelines of the Health Protection Agency (HPA), which has issued a call for vigilance in response to the increasing number of gastrointestinal illnesses.
