UK made COVID alarm detects virus in crowded areas within 15 minutes
Jun 14 2021 Share

A UK-made COVID alarm has been designed to detect the virus in a crowded room within just 15 minutes. The gadget, the size of a smoke alarm, could be equipped in crowded areas such as classrooms, workplaces and care homes, with a reliability factor of around 98% to 100%.

Developed by Cambridge firm Roboscientific, the gadget has effectively become more reliable than rapid home tests and just as accurate as PCR lab tests. Tracking molecules by people carrying COVID-19, the results are sent to a smartphone within 15 minutes. The gadget is expected to cost around  £5,000, with a handheld version which allows people to scan others in just two minutes is also in development.

Jun 14 2021 Share

The United Journal posted to Twitter stating that world renowned Manchester United are due to play a friendly match in Malta. The date is currently pencilled in for August 3rd, but the game could occur behind closed doors. Further information is yet to be disclosed, but the Twitter post did instigate a couple of comments urging Maltese authorities to open up clubs and stadiums in anticipation of the match.

Malta had already signed as the official destination partner for the famous football club in 2019. The agreement was set to run for three years, which therefore includes 2021. The team had already made several appearances in Malta, with their last visit being in 2000 when the team came over for a training camp and played a friendly game against Birkirkara. Games were played in 1967 against Hibernians, 1961 against a Maltese XI selection and 1987 against Naxxar Lions.

Jun 14 2021 Share

The father of late Julian Spiteri, Adrian Spiteri, shared his son’s inspirational rules for life and reasons why he studied law. Adrian stated that ‘Julian stuck this on the cork board at his desk and often referred back to it when he was later questioning whether he was in the right course.’ His father stated that this list ‘serves as an inspiration to other young people considering the legal profession.’

Adrian also shared the late teenager’s rules for life last month. He pointed out how Julian wrote them 3 years ago. Adrian goes on to state how ‘for [his family] this seems more like a list of instructions he left for [them] on how to survive without him – particularly his last rule (no.13).’ The reasons and rules show the young student’s determination and aspiration for life, and are sure to serve as inspiration for all who read them.
