Speaking on One Radio in regards to the COVID-19 situation in Malta, Prime Minister Robert Abela emphasised the importance of the vaccine to protect the entirety of the Maltese population. Abela pointed out how the opposition is not pushing the important message of vaccination to the public. He stated in regards to this epidemiological crisis, both political parties should put aside differences and work together to push for awareness about how important the vaccine rollout truly is.
Abela revealed how 80% of the population is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, meaning that around 20% of said population has for one reason or another not yet gotten vaccinated. He stated that if there is a number of unvaccinated individuals, the period of time before we can go back to normalcy will keep getting pushed forward.
He highlighted how vaccination is a civil obligation – an obligation of respect and love which protects everyone around oneself. He also revealed how the legal advice on travelling will see Maltese and Gozitan citizens living abroad and coming back to Malta being subject to the same regulations when it comes to travelling.
