COVID-19 vaccination letters sent to Maltese emigrants

Mar 16 2021 Share

Authorities have recognised that people who left Malta several years ago have received letters at addresses of residences they occupied before emigrating. The vaccination letters invited them to get COVID-19 vaccine jabs in Malta despite having emigrated. The current residents got over excited over vaccination invites, only to discover they were addressed to the previous inhabitants.

Times of Malta reported that readers told the source how their parents, aged over 70, did not receive their invitation but instead received those of others who no longer lived in the residence. Health sources informed Times of Malta that they were trying their best to avoid such errors, despite there being some of these letters being already sent out. The amount of erroneous letters sent out is currently unknown.

Jake Vella given access to pool for training

Mar 16 2021 Share

After a plea was released asking for Jake Vella, the Ambassador of Sports Malta, to be given access to a pool to keep his training going, the Health Authorities has allowed the young athlete’s to keep swimming in a private pool as offered by a kind individual. Jake, who suffers from ROHHAD, a disease which keeps him obese despite attempts at thinning down, needs sport to stay alive.

The COVID-19 pandemic restrictions closed down sports facilities to mitigate spread of the virus and thus closed down any access Jake had to training. But thanks to one of his friends Fabio Spiteri who issued the plea, Jake is now seemingly getting access to a pool to keep one of his favourite athletic exercise going.
