The Squid Game creator is already in talks with Netflix for SEASON THREE

Dec 29 2021

After establishing itself as a global phenomenon and a pop culture symbol, Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk immediately agreed to develop a storyline for the series’ second instalment, but it doesn’t stop there.

The Netflix creator reportedly has his eyes set on Squid Game season 3 after telling Korean broadcaster KBS that he is in talks with the streaming giant on both season 2 and season 3, which talks will conclude very soon.

He also addressed the season 1 cliffhanger and how he thinks it may play out in the following episodes but after becoming the number one show on Netflix around the world and the platform’s most-watched program ever, you better believe that big things are coming.

Other media personalities like MrBeast went as far as spending $3.5 million on a Squid Game recreation for his YouTube video, garnering just under 190 million video views to date.

14-day quarantine unsustainable for the economy, says Malta Chamber

Dec 29 2021

The Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry has stated its concerns on the current quarantine period for individuals who contract COVID-19 and their contacts, stating that it is unsustainable for the economy.

In a recent statement, the Chamber said that isolation should be reduced ‘to 10 days, and to 7 days for fully vaccinated contacts.’ The Chamber believes that a reduced period may motivate people to take their booster and comply with quarantine periods, especially when contact tracing and enforcement are being overwhelmed within the current conditions.

Businesses providing essential services will be unable to operate uninterruptedly within the current climate and companies that cannot shift to remote working such as manufacturing will experience major disruptions.

The Chamber also highlighted that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a press release stating that quarantine period should be shortened from 10 to 6 days for asymptomatic people, with several other countries following suit and reducing their quarantine period.
