Sahha’s COVID-19 daily updates to shift focus onto hospitalisations

Sahha’s COVID-19 daily updates to shift focus onto hospitalisations
Sep 7 2021 Share

Deputy Prime Minister and Health Minister Chris Fearne took to social media to announce the the daily ‘Sahha’ COVID-19 infographic will be placing main emphasis on hospitalisations and ITU admissions. Revealing that there are 29 COVID positive patients at Mater Dei Hospital with two of them in the ITU, the daily updates will be focusing on this aspect of the pandemic in Malta instead of the daily and active cases.

This information is still to be issued – revealing how many cases are active or have been registered daily, if any deaths occurred and how many vaccinations have so far been administered. As of yesterday 6th September 2021, Malta had 710 active COVID-19 cases with 445 total deaths.  799,214 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine were also administered as of the 5th of September, with the rollout of booster doses to elderly care home residents kicking off.

David Beckham’s second son Romeo has recently announced on his Instagram account that he has signed his first ever professional contract. The 19-year old has signed with Inter Miami’s second team Fort Lauderdale CF, who play in the 3rd division of the USA. He is still far off the heights his father was at his age, but this is still a pretty good start.

Many congratulated the young player, including of course his mother Victoria Beckham. She told her son; “We are so proud of you Romeo x”. Former Juventus player and now Inter Miami player, Blaise Matuidi, also congratulated the player

Reports in America say that the player still doesn’t have a defined position but is very versatile playing in numerous positions. He still hasn’t made his debut for the team but it has been reported that he will first showcase his talents next Sunday against Tuscon.

New PBS and TVM logos launch met with controversial reactions

New PBS and TVM logos launch met with controversial reactions
Sep 7 2021 Share

The reveal of the new ‘Public Broadcasting Services’ (PBS), ‘TVM’, and ‘TVM news+’ logos was met with quite a controversial reaction. With a new schedule of programmes to start from the last week of September, the submission by bespoke company was chosen from a total of 21 entries after a public competition was launched at the end of July. The idea to incorporate Malta’s cross with the symbol of media play was to showcase the idea of a forward moving icon, stated designer Ryan Calleja. 

The reaction to the new logos was, safe to say, quite mixed. Some weren’t very impressed with them, some asking whether minimalism as a concept was heard about on the island and other saying that kindergarten students would have done a better job. Others however defended the update, with one in particular stating that there is zero support for artists and that not even a simple logo update is exempt from mockery.
