The Nationalist Party in a statement, said that it has been “informed that the Gozo Channel Company does not yet have an adequate system in place for the enforcement of Covid-19 measures on ships and in terminals.”
It went on to say that there is “much concern about this among the Gozo Channel workers” because they are being asked to enforce the regulation that all passengers must wear masks.
“This is not their job and much less are they trained for it,” the PN said. “In addition, there were some incidents with passengers who misbehaved when asked to observe the measures.”
“Contact with passengers who do not observe the measures, also puts the workers at risk, as well as those close to them,” said the PN.
It argued that “despite the workers’ complaints, the Gozo Channel management and the Government, which is directly responsible for the company, are doing very little to address the problem.”
“As with the rest of Malta, and with regard to Gozo Channel, the Government is showing that it is both neglecting and is not sufficiently prepared to respond to the spread of Covid-19, which is obviously taking its toll again.”
The Nationalist Party concluded by calling on the Government to immediately address the situation and see to it that there is an “adequate system in place to effectively observe the measures in the best interests of everyone’s health.”

Does anyone out there know if Malta will ever get out of the EU? Malta is too overcrowded and very uncomfortable. Before the Malta joined the EU, you could get a seat on the bus and now you have to stand.
It only takes an easy vote for Malta to get out of the EU. Its sad that Malta has lost its identity and by joining the EU, Malta was sold to every other country in the EU. Malta used to be independent and now it is controlled by everyone else. It not worth the money. Missing the old Malta. Hopefully one day, Malta will gets its independence back like the few countries in Europe who were smart enough to refuse joining the EU.
Absolutely we’ve been visiting Malta & Gozo quite regularly for the past 24 years, how ever we can now see the difference instead of being the nice friendly tranquil islands -things ain’t what they used to be, i think your minister who ever they are should be locked up or better still erase them from the face of the earth, needless to say Malta & in particular Gozo is off the menu for us and our colleagues. Good Luck you are going to need it.
The ferry should be stopped before the weekend influx for Santa Marija only emergency services and medical emergencies why bring Abela the King of Covids virus to us in Gozo.. Where Clint camellary (its a pun) probably at Oleander with his outriders spending his vouchers NO TUNNEL
