We are currently in Malta, just arrived yesterday, and are quite impressed with the measures taken. Having spent the previous 3 weeks in Germany, I have to say that Maltese people seem to be much more disciplined with regards to taking precautions, at least from what we have seen so far from walking around St. Julian and Sliema area.

Everyone is wearing a mask inside and outside on the streets.

The hotel we are staying in is serving food after it is chosen by guests during breakfast and in general it is taking precautions which make us feel very comfortable and safe.
While we felt very safe wherever we went in Germany, Malta seems to be taking it a little further.

Entry is easy if coming from a 'Green' country and while we printed out 2 different forms from the visitMalta website, only one form was collected from the airline at boarding time.

Upon arriving in Malta, temperatures were taken by just walking through a designated channel.

Weather here is currrently nice and warm, though we had a storm come through last night with a lot of rain, thunder and lightning. People are still swimming in the ocean as the water this time of year is still 'warm'.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask.
We will be spending 8 days here, including 2 nights in Gozo.

Just to add; we are not into nightlife, bars etc. but restaurants, cafes are open and experience is as usual, at least from what I could experience so far.
Restaurants are supposed to close at 11pm with last order taken at 10pm.
