Health authorities to determine fate of feast processions

May 26 2021

The Church has revealed that feast processions will only be allowed to occur should the health authorities give the green light. This regulation was part of the Church’s directives for summer feast celebrations which take effect today. With feasts and outdoor activities stopped to mitigate COVID-19 spread, the Church warned that measures should always be respected and it will be up to the parish priest to draw up a programme for liturgical celebrations.

Celebrations are to be held on Sunday or a feast date, with those held outside the church building being only allowed by health authorities’ permission. In a statement, the Church stated that cooperation and maturity between different parties would truly honour the respective saints as COVID-19 remains a very real danger.

Air pollution increase following school reopening

May 26 2021

Environment and Resources Authority informed TVM that at an increase in air pollution has been noted following the reopening of schools. This was in fact preceded by a decrease in air pollution as the main source of air pollution, traffic, drastically decreased.

Utilising analysis of information collected by air monitoring stations ERA has located in three localities, the organisation concluded that the level of nitrogen dioxide, which is the main culprit behind pollution, increased considerably mid-October.

Official Nadine Mercieca explained how ‘when we speak about the months of the year: from January to March, the level of pollution remained stable, but in April we began to see an increase compared with April 2020, but it still has not reached the levels of 2019.’ She added; ‘the level of pollution reflects the amount of traffic and its influx.’

May 26 2021

Ever since Avotaco graced the streets of Malta with their tasty Mexican dishes, the island’s tastebuds have never been the same, and their new menu deals highlight how much they truly value their community.

During times of economic hardship for many, the eatery shifted their focus onto suiting the needs and conditions of their diners and introduced two massive new products: the Lite Menu & the Meal Deal.

Available for take out, dine-in and delivery, the Lite Menu offers great value & fantastic taste in the form of the Burrito Lite and Quesadilla Lite. Not only are they quick and budget-friendly, but bring the same mouth-watering Avotaco flavour in either beef, chicken, veggie or vegan form, while remaining a bang for your buck for under a tenner.

To make things even better, the meal deal provides the opportunity for diners to upgrade to a meal by adding a side of nachos or fries and a drink at just an additional €3.75, bringing Avotaco’s same monumental flavour for a great price.

You can visit the hombres and dine in at their outlets in Mrieħel or Ta’ Xbiex, or else by take-away or delivery via Bolt Food, Wolt or on their website: https://order.eatavotaco.com/

Love Island set for June 2021 as construction begins

May 26 2021

Following fears due to the COVID-19 pandemic, fans of Love Island were in doubt as to whether the series would make a return in 2021. However it seems as though lovers of the reality show will be getting their favourite series back for another run in 2021. At first, speculation arose that the stars would settle for a staycation in England rather than abroad, but ITV has given the green light for filming to happen in the iconic villa.

Photos of builders setting to work have emerged, accompanied by long lists of rules printed on boards across the construction site as COVID-19 still remains a very real issue. June is also planned to be the month when the series kicks off, so fans will not have to wait as long.
