Malta scores excellently in 14-day COVID-19 case notification rate
May 27 2021 Share

Deputy Prime Minister and Health Minister Chris Fearne announced on Facebook that Malta is in a very positive ranking in the 14-day COVID-19 case notification rate. The rating is taken per 100,000 population and in the EU weeks 19-20. Malta is situated in the ‘green box’ meaning it has just <4% positivity rate and just <25 in the 14 day notification rate per 100,000 population.

Malta is among the very few countries in this ranking, with many scoring orange or a more alarming red, which signifies a higher positivity rate. Large parts of France and Spain, along with Germany, are in this ranking. Malta’s vaccination rollout and herd immunity achievement ranked Malta in this spot, as the health measures in place and people getting their jab is having its desired effect of mitigating the spread of COVID-19.
