Malta bans all visitors who aren't fully vaccinated against COVID
VALLETTA, July 9 (Reuters) - Malta will ban all visitors from entering the country as from Wednesday unless they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, Health Minister Chris Fearne said on Friday.
"We will be the first EU country to do so, but we need to protect our society," Fearne told a news conference.
He was speaking after the small Mediterranean island saw a doubling of new cases of COVID-19 every day since Monday.
To date, tourists could come to Malta if they were fully vaccinated or could produce a negative PCR test. The only exception being British tourists who already needed to be fully vaccinated because of the prevalence of the Delta variant there.
