The Malta Union of Midwives and Nurses (MUMN) announced that in just one week, the number of COVID-19 positive patients that required intensive care went from 6 to 15.
The MUMN stated that this was causing a lot of pressure on the nurses and that the number of ITUs at Mater Dei Hospital have already increased from two to six.
The MUMN also stated that a lock down would be inevitable if the situation gets worse, while urging people to stop having parties and mixing together.
