Mejdina: the must-have portable table for summer 2022

May 2 2022

Let’s face it – summer is officially here. And that means barbecues, seaside nibbles and days spent outside lapping the sizzling sun.

But placing your food somewhere in front of you when outside requires a bit of improvisation. Mejdina, the portable foldable table, seeks to remedy that situation. And that is why MaltaDaily deems it this summer’s essential must-have.

The little wooden table is perfect for any scenario – a glass of wine by the sea, as it comes equipped with glass holders, or a simple date night where you can place all your goodies comfortably in front of you.

Considering how long we’ve waited to finally enjoy a summer going out-and-about due to a certain annoying pandemic, Mejdina will facilitate our sit down meals without the hassle of having to carry any massive tables around.

Our Maltese representative for 2022’s edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, Emma Muscat, will be hitting the stage for the first time for her initial rehearsal today.

Malta’s representative currently stands in 24th place to win, with Ukraine right at the top. Italy’s popular Mahmoud and Blanco currently occupy second place with their song ‘Brividi.’

Two ex-University of Malta students tie the knot on campus

May 2 2022

Two ex-University of Malta students, Ingrid Vella and Anthony Galea, just tied the knot at the university campus.

Taking to social media, the bride revealed their big day saying that ‘after 6 postponements, we thought we’ll never see this day.’ She went on to thank the University of Malta and its rector Professor Vella who officiated the wedding.

‘It was a personalised micro wedding shared with our parents and witnesses’ said Ingrid, going on to reveal how they still plan on celebrating the marriage with the rest of their friends and family later on.

This comes as weddings and other events return back to normal following three years of constant delays, postponements and outright cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This couple managed to overcome the obstacles posed by the pesky pandemic, and thanks to the wonderful gesture by the university. Now more couples will have the opportunity to finally celebrate their big day after such a long time.

EU Digital COVID certificate could stay around for another year

May 2 2022

MEPs from the Civil Liberties Committee endorsed proposals to keep the use of the EU Digital COVID Certificate around for another year.

The certificate scheme was set to expire on the 30th June of this year, but MEPs from the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs voted in favour of two reports to prolong it.

The extension was done with the aim of ensuring that EU citizens benefit from the right of freedom movement regardless of how the epidemiological situation when it comes to COVID changes.

Apart from extending the validity of the certificate until the 30th of June 2023, the changes will also enable member states to grant test certificates based on new types of antigen tests. Amendments to the proposal stress that member states should avoid additional restrictions of freedom of movement unless absolutely necessary.

MEPs insist that if restrictions are needed, they should be limited and proportionate based on the latest evidence from the ECDC and EU Health Security Committee.

The use of the EU Digital COVID Certificate was first adopted in June of 2021 to facilitate free movement for a limited period of 12 months. The decision to open negotiations will be announced at the opening of this week’s plenary session in Strasbourg.
