A further six countries have been added to the list of destinations for when the airport officially reopens on July the 1st, and restrictions on all other flight destinations will be lifted on July the 15th.

In a joint statement by the Ministry for Tourism and The Malta Tourism Authority, they announced that the destinations that have been added to the list of destinations to open on 1 July are Italy (except for Emilia Romagna, Lombardy, and Piemonte), France (except for Ile de France), Spain (except for Madrid, Catalonia, Castilla -La Mancha, Castile and Leon), Poland (except for Katowice Airport), Greece and Croatia.

They said that Israel, which had been included on the original list has been removed. “The list of destinations will be monitored regularly and reviewed if necessary.”

The statement went on to say that today’s announcement comes in the wake of last week’s statement by the European Commission in which EU countries were encouraged to lift travel restrictions within the bloc and proposed a gradual lifting of the external travel ban starting from the 1st of July. “A significant number of EU countries have already lifted their travel restrictions.”

The Prime Minister also announced on Sunday that the public health emergency that had been declared due to the Covid-19 pandemic will be lifted.

This now means that all remaining legal notices related to Covid-19 restrictions will be revoked, including the ban on gatherings of more than 75 persons.

He stressed that social distancing, hygiene and the use of a face mask where necessary remain recommended.
