A mandatory quarantine was imposed on travellers and those who were possibly in contact with those who travelled abroad. A mandatory lockdown was imposed on those over the age of 65 and/or suffering from chronic health conditions.[4] WHO praised the Maltese government's response to the pandemic,[5] before the number of cases rose to 52 on 7 April. On May Day, given that the reproductive rate of the virus was below 0, the first relaxation of some measures were announced.[6]
Background
On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, which was reported to the WHO on 31 December 2019.[7][8]
The case fatality ratio for COVID-19 has been much lower than SARS of 2003,[9][10] but the transmission has been significantly greater, with a significant total death toll.[11][9]
History
Health and precautions
On 24 January, the Superintendent for Public Health, Charmaine Gauci, predicted low exposure due to no direct flights between Malta and China.[12]
On 24 February, the health authorities announced that all passengers arriving in Malta were to be screened by thermal cameras; two thermal scanning devices were installed in Malta International Airport. Passengers disembarking from vessels at the Grand Harbour and catamaran terminal in Marsa were also scanned. At Mater Dei Hospital, all patients with respiratory symptoms were checked for COVID-19.[13]
On 25 February, the Ministry for Health recommended travellers coming from Italy to self-quarantine for 14 days and for all citizens not to travel to regions of Italy affected by the outbreak.[14][15] As the Italy coronavirus pandemic proceeded south with the first case discovered in Palermo, panic buying ensued and supermarkets were emptied.[16][17]
Maltese chandlers and ship workers refused to board vessels from Italy to unload cargo, unless they were provided supervision and clearance by medical doctors.[18] The Malta Union of Teachers recommended members not to accept any homework from students who were unwell and requested students and teachers who visited countries affected by the virus to stay home.[19]
Some work places requested their staff who recently returned from Italy to work from home as well as deferred non-essential travels to Italy.[20]
On 11 March, a travel ban has been placed on trips to Germany, France, Spain and Switzerland, in addition to the ban on trips to Italy, which had been placed on March 9th.[21] Additionally anyone travelling back from mentioned countries must follow a mandatory self-quarantine. Disobeying the order makes the individuals subject to a €1,000 fine.[22]
Hunting controversy
Most activities have been banned in Malta; violators may be fined for public health risks. government has allowed the opening of the hunting season. Nevertheless, the Public Health Superintendent left the decision to open the hunting season to a government-set committee, which allowed it. This increased pressure on police and health authorities.[23] Several illegal activities relating to hunting were reported with no police presence. As soon as police were informed of individual illegal activities, the individuals were tipped off and left the scene with protected birds in non-hunting protected zones.[24] In the midst of the pandemic, the Cabinet at Castille has discussed with the hunting lobby with closed door over sealing off permanently natural reserves from the public and allow only access to registered hunters.[25]
Measures for containment
On 11 March, Prime Minister Robert Abela announced a ban on all sea and air travel (except for cargo) and a mandatory quarantine on travellers returning from the most infested countries of France, Germany, Switzerland and Spain from that day onwards, together with Italy, for which it applied for the previous 14 days. Infringements were to be penalised with a €1,000 each time.[26]
On 12 March, the Prime Minister announced a number of measures including:
- closure of all schools, university and childcare centres for a week;
- closure of day centres for the elderly;
- stop religious activities unless absolutely necessary;
- television channel TVM2 will be transmitting religious activities in agreement with the Archbishop;
- all football games to be played behind closed doors. Other matches were been postponed;
- No political activities.[27]
As of 13 March, mandatory quarantine was extended to travellers returning from any country. This was also published on the Malta Tourism Authority's and Air Malta's websites.[28][29][30]
Following reports from spot checks, Malta tripled its mandatory quarantine fine to €3,000 each time since 16 March.[31] Later on in the evening, Abela informed the nation that all gyms, bars and restaurants would temporarily close. Food and Beverage outlets were to be allowed to operate only if they were offering take away and/or delivery service.[32]
On March 22, Health Minister Chris Fearne announced three more measures:[33]
closure of non-essential retail (fashion, appliances, electronics) closure of non-essential services (hairdressers, nail salons, beauticians, spas) banning of all organised group gatherings. Any infringements were to be charged with a €3,000 fine each time.[28]
In the evening of March 23, the Maltese government raised the fine for those infected up to €10,000.[34][35]
On March 28, the government has announced decisions related to education institutions and exams. These include:
Schools and educational institutions will be closed until the end of the scholastic year. Online teaching is being used for continuity. The SEC examinations (ordinary levels) will not be held in the session beginning on the 23rd of April. MATSEC will then issue a certificate to successful students, showing whether Level 2 or Level 3 was reached based on performance and mid-year mock exams. This certificate will be instrumental in deciding whether to allow students to progress further education. Intermediate and A Level exams will be held in September 2020.
First case till local transmission
March 2020
On 7 March, Malta reported its first three cases of coronavirus: an Italian family consisting of a 12-year-old girl and her parents, who arrived in Malta on 3 March from Rome after a holiday in Trentino. The girl was the first case, with the parents testing positive for the coronavirus later in the day. They had been in self-quarantine since arriving from Italy, and they were held in isolation at Mater Dei Hospital.[36]
As of 8 March 2020, 540 tests have been carried out. This includes all those who were in contact with the infected family. Other than the family, all tested negative. Reports of other cases were dismissed as dissemination of false information.[37] A further 10 people were tested on 9 March with one result reported positive in the evening, bringing the overall number to four cases.[38] The man did not follow quarantine regulations for the first two days, which caused outrage among those possibly affected.[39] His daughter was found also positive, becoming the fifth case.[40] The fourth and fifth cases were reported as being Norwegians living in Malta.
In the morning of 11 March, the sixth case of COVID-19 was confirmed with the patient being a Maltese man coming back from Italy. That same evening, the 7th case was confirmed and the patient was a relative of his who had travelled with him to Italy.[41][42]

He worked on 13 March, a day before symptoms emerged. Contact tracing ongoing, a woman whose relative reported being ill after returning from England. She reported symptoms on 19 March.

He was later transferred to Boffa Hospital in Floriana.[79] Other immigrants at the centre were forcefully locked-in indefinitely (until coronavirus remains present) and safeguarded by the armed forces.[80] The situation is considered more desperate as residents inside the facility have to share bathrooms.[81] Two elderly people in a relationship were escorted to Malta from nearby offshore in a joint cooperation by the military and health authorities.
