Following insider reports of 200+ cases to be announced today, the idea of another lockdown in Malta will certainly be put on the table to contain local spread of the coronavirus.
Belgium, France, Germany and Greece have all announced a second round of lockdowns with Italy and Spain announcing tighter measures and restrictions such as curfews as the closure of catering and recreational establishments.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has also announced a second lockdown in the UK following a surge in cases across the continent.
This begs the question, could Malta be heading for a second lockdown to try and save the Christmas period?
A Serbian national residing in Triq il-Bordin, Pieta’ has been arrested following a 6-hour police operation to release him from his home.
Reports have revealed that the Serbian was damaging neighbouring properties and threatening police with knives and guns.
At around 1.30am, the police shot a tranquilliser shot on his pit bull from his neighbours’ residence and shot some warning shots around 2am, prior to the arrest.
As he exited the residence, he was saying that he cannot return to Serbia for unknown reasons.
