The Health Protection Agency (HPA) has issued a public advisory urging residents to take precautionary measures outdoors after a significant drop in air quality across the Maldives, with guidance for yellow, orange and red air quality levels. On Monday, air quality in the Malé area was recorded at 159 on the Air Quality Index, falling under the red category.
One outlet so far Only The Standard has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, the HPA recommended that the public monitor the air quality levels, which can be checked through the Ministry of Tourism and Environment's official link or the IQAIR Visual mobile application.

Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
