19 new countries added to Malta's quarantine free travel list
Sep 22 2021 Share

The red list of countries from which people can travel to Malta without having to quarantine has just been updated, with the changes set to come into effect Thursday. The list includes 19 new countries which are in no particular order: Bahrain, Gabon, Kuwait, Maldives, Bermuda, Mongolia, Russia, Rwanda, Cape Verde, Namibia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Myanmar, Malaysia, Tunisia, Morocco, Iraq, South Africa, Timor and India. Travelers from these countries who are in possession of a vaccine certificate will not need to quarantine.

Malta also currently recognizes vaccine certificates issued by Malta, EU, UK, UAE, US, Serbia, Turkey, Gibraltar, Jersey and Guernsey, Qatar, Albania, Australia, Egypt, Lebanon and Canada. High-risk country travelers had to previously quarantine in designated hotels, but these measures have since been relaxed. Travelers in such cases who are residents of Malta can now therefore quarantine in their home.

A post shared by Cristiano Ronaldo (@cristiano)

In an interview, Dolores stated that “Ronaldo has to come back (to Sporting), for me he’d be here,” and “He likes to watch Sporting’s games. I’ve already told him: ‘Son, before I die I want to see you return to Sporting.’. About her grandson she had this to say “At his age, he plays better than Ronaldo. At the time, Ronaldo didn’t have a coach, but today Ronaldo is his son’s teacher.” She also confirmed his desires to play for Sporting like his father once did.

Cristianinho is currently training with Manchester United’s academy after his father’s move. The young player had a very good experience at Juventus before moving to Engalnd. In his first season for the Bianconeri’s youth team, he scored 58 times and provided 18 assists. He will now be joined at United’s academy with Kai Rooney who’s father is legendary striker Wayne Rooney.

Read this if you’re afraid of pests

Read this if you're afraid of pests
Sep 22 2021 Share

While unfamiliar to many, the words ‘katsaridaphobia’, ‘musophobia’ and ‘spheksophobia’ are not unfamiliar concepts, as thousands of individuals on the Maltese islands suffer from these fears on a daily basis. Katsaridaphobia is the fear of cockroaches, while musophobia is the fear of rats and spheksophobia, of hornets or wasps.

These creatures are collectively classified as ‘pests’, organisms found to be a threat to humans or their interests which can also transmit disease. Unfortunately, Malta is not immune to these creatures and is a frequent victim of pest problems.

Thankfully, The Exterminator is here. Arnold Sciberras is what is called a ‘professional pest control consultant’, whose aim is to solve any and all pest problems one may come across. The great thing about the Exterminator is that Arnold is a naturalist at heart so he, along with the rest of the team, makes sure that any issues are handled as humanely as possible with natural ingredients.

The Exterminator Malta’s services cover the entire spectrum of pests and insect species, covering anything from termite treatment to rodent control, hornet & wasp species and so much more with very reasonable prices.

The Exterminator has recently reported that the team has been going out every day to remove more and more nests around the island and when you consider that one could also have a consistent cockroach or rodent problem, you have no choice but to call the Exterminator and make sure that everything is in order.

From consultations to pest salutations, putting your mind at ease and living without pest worries is only a click away.

Man wins wrong marathon and gets disqualified

Sep 22 2021 Share

A long distance runner named Omar Ahmed, who won the Bristol half-marathon, was disqualified after he ran the wrong race. Omar planned on running the Great Bristol Run, which is a 10km run, but instead ended up winning the 22km half-marathon. He finished the race in 63 minutes which is a very good time. The eventual winner Chris Thompson recorded a time of 67 minutes.

 

The runner reportedly took a wrong turn in his 10km which led him onto the half marathon course. His 63 minute time was also a personal best for him. The chief executive of the Great Run Company had this to say about the bizarre incident “Rules are rules and in this case, they say we have to disqualify Omar.” He also confirmed that he will get another opportunity at the 10km race saying “We salute his performance, and he has been invited to take part in next week’s Great Manchester Run as an elite athlete.”
