15 days after they test positive, Maltese COVID-19 patients are being labelled as recovered without having done a swab test. This means the patients are leaving quarantine without taking the final swab test and can do so if they meet three requirements. This new method was rumoured to be in effect as Sahha began announcing a higher number of daily recoveries amidst the rising positive cases.
People are receiving discharge letters stating the three requirements which allow people to leave quarantine; (1) everyone in household does not have symptoms for three consecutive days; (2) no resident in the household has tested positive throughout the quarantine period and; (3) no one joined the household within quarantine period and tested positive. Concerns were raised as these requirements aren’t necessarily checked to be met since no swab tests were being had.
