Inside sources have claimed that the Cabinet of Malta has just been called for an urgent meeting, following the official announcement of 510 new COVID-19 cases which is the highest-ever amount of new cases registered in Malta.
It is unclear whether or not the meeting is with regards to Malta’s current COVID-19 situation but with daily case reports consistently hitting record highs and few measures announced recently, all signs point towards that.

Children, who may be carrying and asymptomatic, may be transmitting the virus unknowingly. With over one in 10 current cases are children, schools are prompted to hold out as they monitor the situation more closely. The 11-17 age group seems to have the highest number. 83 children up to five years, 85 between 6 and 10, and 175 between 11-17 make up the active cases, as pointed out by Superintendent of Public Health, Charmaine Gauci, during an exclusive interview with Times of Malta.
The percentage jumped from less than 5% in September to the current 12%. This has forced schools to monitor the situation more closely, as Sue Midolo, president of Independent Schools Association, pointed out that decisions catered per school will be taken.
