Travelling to the Maldives

We are due to fly to the Maldives in a few days and DH and I are disagreeing whether we go or not. We are young, and in good health, have saved for this holiday after a rubbish few years which include close bereavements. We have booked through a reputable company who are advising we go ahead as planned. The resort has no confirmed cases and our travel insurance would cover any changes to flights or delays. Have just been reading of the preparations being made in the Maldives for tourists which include a purpose built facility.

My employer is aware of my plans and boss has told me if I needed to self isolate on my return I would be able to work from home. There is also the option to work from a remote location so am planning on taking my laptop with me just in case.

I am willing (and keen) to go but DH is not so sure. I feel as though I would be just as likely to catch it at home than I would abroad and after spending so many months planning and saving for this break I am loathe to cancel if there isn’t a clear indication from the government (travel advice does not specifically mention avoiding visiting)

Just looking for some advice from a bunch of random strangers!

I once had really bad flu in the middle of nowhere in Spain and honestly it was terrifying. I personally would not risk it.
