Isn’t it about time that the numbers be divided, those of Malta and those of Gozo? I want to know if the welcome to the world record swimmer caused new cases! I do not live in Malta but in Gozo. The numbers totally does not do anything for me. How hard us it to say 19 new cases, xx in Gozo xx in Malta. Anyway I feel the Health Dept is doing a hell of a good job and maybe there is a good reason why they do not separate the daily counts.
