New COVID-19 Measures Announced in Malta
Malta announces new COVID-19 measures due to surge in cases and high positivity rate.
Health Minister Chris Fearne confirms a significant surge in COVID-19 cases driven by a variant, with a positivity rate exceeding 10%. The government states that three COVID-19 intensive care units are operational at Mater Dei Hospital, a fourth is prepared, and a fifth is on standby, excluding normal ICUs and specialty units. The ministry indicates that non-urgent surgeries will be suspended from Saturday to redirect staff toward managing the increased number of COVID-19 cases in intensive care.
