The Restart Campaign posted to social media to express its concerns over the rising COVID-19 cases. Despite the local entertainment industry still being closed and banned from operating, the rise in cases seems to be attributed to uncontrolled behaviour of incoming visitors to the island. Most of them unvaccinated, with over 90% of reported cases coming from those who haven’t received the jab, the visitors are still ‘managing to have the time of their lives during their holiday.’

Restart, and other industry organisers and stakeholders, have been suggesting safe and controlled reopening based on vaccine passports. ‘Who’s to blame this time?’ the campaign asks. The Malta Entertainment Industry and Arts Association (MEIA) also raised its similar concerns, stating that the ‘safe reopening of the industry [should not be] demonised any further.’
