Further restrictive measures for the Easter period have been announced

From tomorrow, Monday, March 29, 2021, the list of countries in the amber zone will be revised to add all the countries that are so far in the green zone to this list.

Thus any traveler arriving in Malta from any other country will be required to submit a negative PCV COVID-19 test performed no more than seventy-two (72) hours prior to his arrival in Malta. Persons who fail to produce this test may be subjected to testing in Malta and may be subject to quarantine.

Flights from countries in the red zone will remain prohibited except for repatriation trips.

This while from Wednesday, March 31, 2021, the maximum number of people who can gather in public spaces will decrease from 4 people to 2 people. This measure does not apply to persons living in the same residence.

This means that in public spaces, groups of more than 2 people should be prohibited, including in queues and at bus stops, unless the social distance of two meters between them is maintained.

Persons violating this measure will be subject to a fine of € 300 per person.

These measures are coming into force at the suggestion of the Superintendent of Public Health in order to further limit the flow of COVID-19 during the Easter holidays.

These measures apply until 11 April 2021.
