All strike action has been suspended by the Medical Association of Malta. In a statement, it said that the Council this afternoon welcomed the announced public health measures.

The measures are “very close to what MAM had requested and there is no justification for further industrial action at the stage,” it said.

The Association stated that it will “watch closely the implementation of these measures and reserves the right to react if enforcement is found wanting.”

MAM encouraged the residents of the Maltese Islands to comply with these measures to ensure that they succeed in reducing Covid numbers.

The MAM concluded by saying that it is extremely important both for public health and the economy that Covid numbers are brought down as soon as possible to avoid the possibility of a lockdown which would have graver consequences on the economy.
