Health Minister Chris Fearne has asked Mater Dei s chief medical officer to look into claims that a healthy woman died three weeks after she was given the AstraZeneca vaccine.
The victim s husband said his 67-year-old wife died of a blood clot three weeks after getting the AstraZeneca vaccine. He also claimed she was perfectly healthy before her death, according to an online report in the digital platform SideStreet.
The report says the couple received their vaccine on March 13, before the woman became feverish and died on Easter Sunday.
Times of Malta has tried to reach out to the woman s family but they have refused to give any further comments.
Enforcement officers from multiple agencies now have the authority to enter homes, on the basis of a report, to enforce COVID-19 measures related to private gatherings, according to the superintendent of public health.
From a fortnight ago, the number of households allowed to mix in private homes was reduced to two, in order to limit the spread of the virus.
Speaking on Ask Charmaine this week, Charmaine Gauci said that as well as the police, she had delegated authority to enforce the measures to officers from LESA, Transport Malta, the Malta Tourism Authority, the AFM, and environmental health.
“The police, acting on a report can enter houses by means of this delegated authority,” she said in reply to a reader’s concern over whether police need a warrant to enter the house.
