As of Tuesday 2nd March 2021, 84,129 vaccine doses were administered of which 29,748 were 2nd doses.
To date, Malta has registered 23,226 COVID-19 cases in total, of which: 19,905 have recovered, 321 died and 3,000 are still active.
After discussions with healthcare workers, Chris Fearne has claimed that new measures may be implemented in the coming days. The new measures, as announced during a parliamentary address, may include higher fines for those found breaching restrictions. Discipline, according to the Health Minister, is of utmost importance, with the government making sure that all measures are being followed due to the significant spike in COVID-19 cases.
The vaccine will be the government’s form of mitigating the virus spread as front-liners are receiving the Astrazeneca vaccine, and half of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines reserved with each consignment. Fearne also defended the contact-tracing teams and highlighted the support necessary for the health authorities in these trying times.
