Malta has today published its list of countries on the “amber list” – which was announced yesterday in the raft of new measures in a bid to combat the spread of Covid-19. There are just three countries shown.

In a joint statement from the Ministry for Health and the Tourism Ministry, it said that as of midnight, on Friday, the 21st of August, passengers arriving from these three countries will be required to submit a negative Covid-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test before boarding flights to Malta.

It added that passengers who do not present this certificate can be asked to swab at the Malta International Airport or asked to self-quarantine in Malta upon arrival.

The countries are:

Bulgaria

Romania

Spain (applies to passengers arriving from Barcelona, Girona and Madrid)

Passengers arriving from the above mentioned destinations will be required to present a negative result of a swab test carried out within the last 72 hours.

This ‘amber list’ will be updated regularly.
