Malta has registered 336 new cases of COVID-19 in the past 24 hours from 3,572 swab tests, while 80 patients have recovered. This information was announced by the official Facebook page of Malta’s Ministry for Health.
As of Monday 1st March 2021, 81,883 vaccine doses were administered of which 29,021 were 2nd doses.
To date, Malta has registered 22,993 COVID-19 cases in total, of which: 19,743 have recovered, 319 died and 2,931 are still active.
Following the recent record-high COVID-19 case report on Sunday 28th February with 263 cases and another 175 overnight cases on 1st March, inside sources have suggested that today’s report could hit another high.
Malta has recently experienced a string of record-high case reports following the entry of virus variants in Malta and influx of illicit events and group gatherings during the carnival period.
Authorities have yet to report further measures or clarify whether or not they have amended their stance on a potential lockdown for Malta. It is therefore of utmost importance that the public adheres to the health authorities’ measures and protocol to mitigate the spread of the virus.

The Parliamentary Secretary for Youth, Sport and Voluntary Organisations Clifton Grima has announced the initiation of public consultation which will eventually lead to the launch of a Sports Integrity Authority.
This authority will be centralised around Maltese sport and will tackle sports governance and integrity through integration with NADO Malta, the Sports Integrity Unit and the Register for People in Sport.
The authority also will tackle any issues of illicit activity in sports and focus on credibility, transparency, accountability, education, leadership and regulations.
