Malta has officially lower than 100 cases, standing at 96. The vaccination rollout continues as Malta has officially administer 453,711 doses, of which 296,548 are first doses. The vaccination rollout, along with the health restrictions, contributed to the desired effect of mitigating the virus spread. This helped to ease the pressure put on health care systems in Malta, with the admissions to hospital reducing drastically.
The vaccination rollout is now also open for over-16s, which helps to target more age groups and reach towards herd immunity. The epidemiological situation allows Malta to open up by June to tourists, even though the UK has not yet placed Malta on its green list, despite the former expecting a third wave of the Indian COVID-19 variant.
