The dream of every single artist is to escape the confines of their makeshift bedroom studio and get their music to as many ears as possible and Maltese singer-songwriter Shaun Farrugia is doing just that.

From pursuing a career in real estate in Malta to working with huge names like Sigala, The Script, Martin Jensen and so many more, Shaun’s career is truly flourishing beyond our shores. His latest tracks come in the form of a few leaks on a Martin Garrix Instagram fan page.

The fan account shares two clips of the superstar DJ playing two collaborations with the Maltese artist at the world-famous Ultra Music Festival in Miami. The post also shares that Garrix actually found Shaun on TikTok, where the artist would post clips singing some of his own original work!

Congratulations Shaun!

Malta with lowest ITU COVID-19 admissions in the European Union

Data has shown that Malta currently has the lowest number of Intensive Therapy Unit (ITU) COVID-19 admissions in the European Union. With 0.3 patients per sample of 100,000 people in intensive care, Malta’s ITU was the lowest in the EU based on data published by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).

The data, published on Friday, covers the period which ends last Sunday, with four patients in the ITU. The ECDC also has highlighted that Malta’s general hospital occupancy rate stands amongst the lowest in the EU, despite being higher than the previous ITU statistic with 11.1 per 100,000. The only countries to have lower hospitalisation rates than Malta are the Netherlands, Spain and Luxembourg.

Despite this, local health authorities have insisted on the essential nature on continuously monitoring the COVID-19 situation in Malta and beyond, with the ECDC still considers Malta as a major concern, giving it a nine out of 10 score and thus classifying it as of “very high concern.”
