Malta will welcome holidaymakers again from July 1, 2020
The smallest member state of the European Union will soon be welcoming holidaymakers again. The corona measures must be observed on site. From July 1, 2020, no quarantine is necessary either on entry or return. From July 1, 2020, residents from Austria, Germany and Switzerland, among others, will be able to enter the Mediterranean state of Malta again without quarantine. According to the Ministry of Tourism, a 14-day quarantine is no longer required from this day. Since June 16, 2020, self-isolation is also no longer necessary when re-entering Austria. The Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Malta recommends that travelers should contact the relevant authorities if they have any questions or uncertainties. The embassies and consulates are suitable contact points for this, which can provide competent and binding information. Malta will implement strict hygiene requirements in hotels and restaurants, but also on the beaches. This is intended to protect tourists, but also its own population, from infection with the corona virus. Some measures are also being taken at Luqa Airport that travelers must observe. For example, the Flughafen Wien AG subsidiary uses special thermal imaging cameras that are designed to automatically detect passengers with high body temperatures. Another new feature is that all of the airport's terraces have been completely banned from smoking until further notice. In the terminals, on public transport and in shops, it is currently mandatory to wear face masks. After landing at Luqa Airport, the health authority carries out random checks. These consist of measuring the body temperature of travelers and, if it exceeds 37,2 degrees Celsius, further questioning by public officials
