Multiple TikToks went viral and garnered thousands of views after capturing officials notifying individuals and groups breaching the virus mitigation measures.

This is after Superintendent for Public Health Professor Charmaine Gauci, along with Prime Minister Robert Abela announced a new measure allowing only a maximum of 2 people to convene in public places.

Video of Ramiro Mallia requesting aid for Puttinu goes viral after his passing

Mar 29 2021

The news of Ramiro Mallia’s passing shocked all of Malta after the youth sadly passed away due to a leakage in a heater. As many have discovered by now, Ramiro was a cancer survivor at a very young age and has repeatedly supported Puttinu Cares for their help to people suffering with cancer.

A video published to Facebook on 11th September 2019 of Ramiro calling the public to donate to Puttinu is now going viral. In it, Ramiro talks about how distressing the process of discovering a loved one is diagnosed with something as horrible as cancer. In calling for people to help Puttinu Cares who in turn help hundreds of people, the video captures exactly how much of a genuine and caring person Ramiro was. Malta has lost a very thoughtful and compassionate soul indeed. RIP Ramiro.

Police can enter homes to check on COVID-19 measures

Mar 29 2021

A spokesperson for the Malta Police Force has stated that authorities can in fact enter residences and inspect whether the COVID-19 measures are being adhered to. One of the new measures issued for COVID-19 mitigation states that no more than two households can be in one residence at a time and the enforcement of this measure allows for police to enter houses if investigation is required.

The spokesperson stated that the Health Superintendent gave the permission to the authorities on behalf of public safety law. Superintendent Charmaine Gauci pointed out last Friday that 68 fines were given the week before after residences were found to have had guests from multiple households.
