A seemingly-crowded boat in Comino’s Blue Lagoon has been spotted and made known publicly through photos emerging on social media. The organisation has contacted MaltaDaily and stated that they were abiding by the COVID-19 regulations and keeping the required safe distance and number of people in groups. The number of people which could be in groups together went up to four just today, being groups of two as of last week unless the people involved were from the same household.

30% of arrivals do not present negative COVID-19 certificates

30% of arrivals do not present negative COVID-19 certificates

Despite the COVID-19 certificate being mandatory, Times of Malta has learned that around one third of people travelling to Malta do not present a negative COVID-19 certificate. With all countries on Amber List, travellers are required to produce negative swab tests which were taken up to 72 hours before travel. The travellers who do not presented the certificate are therefore tested upon arrival for free.

Airport sources revealed that due to the test being free upon arrival, then number of tourists arriving in Malta without the certificate is increasing. Superintendent for Health Charmaine Gauci stated that the majority are presenting said certificate, but the country was not considering introducing fees for arrival tests, even though some countries have done so. The Superintendent said that Malta will still offer the test for free because it helps Malta keep the COVID-19 situation under control.
