Along with the already-established measures, effective from tomorrow until 11th April, shops which provide non-essential products and services such as well as gyms, pools, theatres and museums will be closed.
As from Monday, educational institutions will also close and, like post-secondary institutions, shift to online learning until the end of Easter holidays on 11th.
Weddings and religious ceremonies will also be prohibited while the maximum number of people allowed to gather in public will decrease from 6 to 4 while private gatherings are discouraged. Funerals will be allowed in line with the national health protocol.
It was also announced that travel to Gozo will be restricted only to residents and purely essential activities.
Establishments such as pools, cinemas, gyms, theatres and museums will also be closed while organised sports for all ages have been suspended.
It was also announced that non-urgent surgeries and procedures will be halted until further notice.
This is so that medical workers and staff such as doctors, nurses and anaesthetists can focus their efforts on Intensive Therapy Units and COVID-related wards.
These changes will be made in order to decrease the ever-increasing strain on the health sector following the surge in ITU cases reported earlier today.
