52 new cases of COVID-19 were registered on Thursday, the health ministry has said.
197,383 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered until Wednesday. Of which, 54,578 were second doses.
Total recoveries stand at 27,951, while total cases registered stand at 29,085.
There are 740 active COVID-19 cases.
Two persons died in the last 24-hours. Two men aged 69 and 71, both of whom died at Mater Dei Hospital.
The total number of deaths is 394.
So it seems that Robert Abela took considerable personal offence, at a couple of rather pointed questions he found himself facing at Wednesday’s press conference.
All together now: gee, how sad. And how unfair of those pesky independent journalists, to puncture his ego by reminding him of a few of his more recent failures as Prime Minister….
Because that’s what those questions were all about, weren’t they?
Let’s see now: one of them was: ‘Shouldn’t you apologise for having predicted a ‘return to normality’ by March (that is, today: when Malta’s daily caseload comes in as the highest in Europe)?’
