July Date Set For Gradual Reopening Of Malta’s Events, Chris Fearne Reveals With Feasts Under Discussion
Deputy Prime Minister Chris Fearne has said that the reopening of events will likely happen in July.
Speaking in a press conference announcing herd immunity, Fearne said that the government has met with stakeholders in the sector over the past few days to discuss a way forward.
He said that he has met with religious authorities to discuss the opening of feasts – and that he met with stakeholders in the entertainment sectors for the gradual reopening of events from July. He later said that feasts will not happen as we usually held them.
While he did not commit to a specific date, he said that events will likely be reopening in July – and insisted that it will only be done so with the health and wellbeing of the nation in mind.
News that events could be cancelled until the end of summer had elicited a strong reaction from people in the industry.
A parliamentary petition calling for the return of events in a safe manner has so far been signed by thousands of people.
