The Medical Association of Malta – MAM, in a statement on Tuesday morning, said that it is “very disappointed that the PM has blamed migrants for the sudden spike of Covid-19 cases.”
Speaking on Labour Party TV on Monday evening, Prime Minister Abela had said that the spike in cases was due to the inclusion of positive rescued migrants.
MAM said that “it is most unfair to cover up his fault by blaming migrants. Allowing mass events like parties against the expert advice of the superintendent was the only cause of this spike as migrants have been quarantined immediately as they remained in detention.”
The Association pointed out that, “in fact European centre for disease control data does not include migrant data.”
The above graphic trends of this data “shows a clear spike in the last two weeks following the organisation of mass events.”
