Both Denmark and Netherlands have placed Malta on their yellow travel list, which means that Danish and Dutch citizens can now travel to Malta without having to adhere to 15-day quarantines. Authorities of these respective countries have advised against non-essential travel to all other countries except Malta, following in Germany’s footsteps a few days ago.

Minister for Tourism and Consumer Protection Clayton Bartolo stated that the ‘Maltese government’s strategy of a strong vaccination roll out complimented with restrictive measures aimed at being was in a gradual manner are the main ingredients behind this sterling news.’

These changes in travel restrictions came as a surprise to many considering that the UK has left Malta off its green list for travel. But these changes still bode well for Malta’s tourism economy as the 1st June approaches.

President Joe Biden has announced, based on CDC guidance, that fully vaccinated US citizens no longer need to wear masks in public. The US has administered more than 267 million doses, with the number of fully vaccinated people reaching up to 119 million (36.3%). This news also follows after the CDC authorised the Pfizer vaccine’s use for emergency among adolescents aged 12 to 15.

The US has had one of the highest numbers of COVID-19 cases and a death count reaching over 585,000. The vaccine rollout however has mitigated the spread as US health authorities work towards achieving herd immunity. Vaccine hesitancy also contributed to the slow progress, as people who demand the vaccine have dwindled in number, forcing many states to create incentives for citizens to get the jab.

Destiny gets a surprise visit from her mother in Rotterdam

Destiny gets a surprise visit from her mother in Rotterdam
May 15 2021 Share

As our Eurovision Song Contest 2021 ambassador Destiny Chukunyere continues her rehearsals abroad in Rotterdam, the young singer was pleasantly surprised by her loving and supportive mother. Destiny shared the experience on social media, stating that she ended the day with the best surprise ever, but was gutted by the fact that due to COVID-19 restrictions, the two could not exchange a mother-daughter hug.

Her mum was also celebrating her birthday, so it served as a double surprise for both as they expressed their appreciation of each other through the glass windows. Destiny wished her a happy birthday, and promised to make her proud both on and off the stage. Destiny will be competing in the first semi-final of the completion, with her song ‘Je Me Casse’ being a crowd favourite and constantly topping the betting boards.
