Malta Issues 1,110 More Booster Doses As Chris Fearne Sounds Warning
Malta has administered 1,110 more COVID-19 booster doses over the past 24 hours, putting the total booster count up to 44,153.
Earlier today, Health Minister Chris Fearne warned that the booster campaign is “essential” to prevent the reintroduction of COVID-19 restrictions over the winter season.
He said that around two-thirds of over-70s have already taken the booster and that he will announce details in Parliament tomorrow about how it will be given to other age groups.
In the past 24 hours, Malta found 12 more COVID-19 cases, while 21 people recovered and no more deaths were recorded.
There are currently 227 active cases, out of whom four are receiving treatment at ITU and eight at another Mater Dei ward.
