The Health Department of Florida in the United States has announced that it will no longer publish the state’s daily pandemic update as it has been doing in the past months but will now publish a weekly COVID-19 update.

The authorities stated that there is no longer a need for daily updates since the state is allegedly close to complete normality, making in the first American state to halt updates every 24 hours.

After seeing such news, many Maltese went on to call for the same procedure to be adopted in Malta, with a weekly update instead of daily one.

On Sunday, Malta was reported to have a COVID-19 reproduction rate of 0.26, as revealed by statistician Vincent Marmara.

Several hundred residents in Venice stated that they were deceived by the Italian government as huge cruise liners and vessels docked in the city’s port on Sunday. The citizens were surprised when a cruise liner sailed into the city’s lagoon for the first time since the pandemic, despite Prime Minister Mario Draghi’s declaration that the ships would be banned form the historical centre.

Activist leader of ‘No Grandi Navi’ (No Big Ships’ Tomasso Cacciari stated that the Italian government deceived not only citizens but also newspapers and public opinion around the world. A counter protest however occurred, supporting the livelihoods of people who depend on the cruise industry and have been negatively impacted by the pandemic.
