While being interviewed by The Malta Independent, Health Minister Chris Fearne, stated that the rise in cases had been predicted long ago, when in the beginning of summer the Health Ministry had stated that they were expecting a surge in cases as soon as the weather starts getting colder.
Although the active cases in Malta surged in recent weeks, Fearne stated that the situation was still under control, but they are expecting that the number of COVID-19 cases will continue to increase.
The Health Ministry announced the 51st virus patient to die in Malta – an 82-year-old man who was admitted to Mater Dei at the end of September.
The elderly man had tested negative when he was admitted to hospital, but after showing covid related symptoms, he was retested and tested positive for covid-19.
The ministry offered its condolences while urging people to abide by public health guidelines.
