110 new Covid-19 cases reported as one patient dies

110 new cases of Covid-19 were reported by health authorities on Tuesday, as Malta’s pandemic death count also increased by one.

It is the first death related to the pandemic registered since 10 May.

156 people have meanwhile recovered from the virus, meaning that the number of active cases currently stands at 2,234.

1,388 swab tests were carried out in the last 24 hours, equating to a positivity rate of 7.9%.

The Health Ministry has, since the day after the 2022 general election at the end of March, stopped publishing daily bulletins on social media which show details related to the pandemic in Malta.

Data is still being published by the Health Ministry’s Covid19 Public Health Response Team on an open source database on the platform GitHub, although certain details such as the number of positive Covid19 cases in hospital and the details about people who had died are not included in the dataset.

Malta has had 93,682 cases of the virus. 90,338 of those have recovered, while 714 have died.
