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.

European leaders impressed by Malta being first EU country to reach herd immunity

European leaders impressed by Malta being first EU country to reach herd immunity
May 26 2021 Share

Malta is the first EU country to have reached herd immunity after 70% of its population has received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. EU leaders allegedly affirmed being impressed by the country’s feat as revealed by Prime Minister Robert Abela in comments to TVM. In the mean time, the EU has enough vaccines to vaccinate its own 70% of the population by the end of July.

The variants could pose a potential threat to this target as member states are boosting their programs to try and mitigate the chances of the variant resulting in case spikes. The EU is also working to give no less than 100 million free vaccines to less developed countries to completely control the spread of the pandemic.
