Malta eases Covid travel restrictions
Malta is proceeding with its Covid-19 exit roadmap as planned.
Despite increase in daily cases region-wide, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control says Malta had the lowest rate of Covid-related ITU occupancy across the EU.
This, and the majority of the Maltese population having now received the third dose of the vaccine, will lead to further relaxing of measures.
From Monday 11 April, incoming travellers from a country on the red list will be allowed in with a negative PCR test (taken up to 72 hours prior to arrival) or a recognised Covid recovery certificate which should not be older than 180 days.
Apart from this, Malta’s Deputy Prime Minister also announced from 10 April, a vaccine certificate is no longer needed for persons to attend standing outdoor events, or seated indoor events.
“The decision to ease further restrictions related to travel continues to be a turning point in the Government’s efforts to drive the Maltese Islands back to normality,” said Minister for Tourism Clayton Bartolo.
“This announcement will definitely continue to pave the way forward for the tourism sector to continue recovering after the pandemic. Persons who are not fully vaccinated will be able to visit Malta without the need for mandatory quarantine,” said Johann Buttigieg, Chief Executive Officer of the Malta Tourism Authority.
“This is great news for the tourism industry and we look forward to welcoming everyone back”
