Two more people have died while being positive with Covid-19. The Ministry for Health in a statement on Thursday said that the first case is a woman admitted to Mater Dei Hospital on the 26th of September and confirmed positive for Covid-19 on the 5th of October. She continued to be treated at the hospital where she passed away last night.

In the second case, an 82-year old man tested positive for Covid-19 on the 12th of October. He was admitted to Mater Dei Hospital on the 13th and transferred to St Thomas Hospital on the 16th.

The Ministry said that because the elderly man’s condition had worsened he was transferred back to Mater Dei Hospital again yesterday, where he passed away later in the evening.

The Ministry said both “had underlying health conditions.”

The Health Ministry, while offering its condolences to the patient’s family, once again reiterated its appeal for the public to continue to follow the public health guidelines, including frequent hand washing, social distancing and wearing a mask.
