An 82-year old man has died from Covid-19, the Health Ministry has said. He becomes the 65th victim of the virus.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Ministry said the man was admitted to Mater Dei Hospital on Sunday from a home for the elderly where he was a resident and was confirmed positive for Covid-19 on Monday. He passed away later on the same day.
The Ministry said that he “was suffering from another chronic illness.”
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.
