Malta is preparing to lift the last of its Covid-19 restrictions in time for the summer holiday peak period. From July 25, travellers from any country visiting Malta without a vaccine or recovery certificate will not need to show a negative PCR or rapid test before arriving in Malta.
Tourism is a major component of the Maltese economy. In 2018, it welcomed 640,000 visitors from the UK and over 2.5million foreign tourists.
Dropping the mandatory show of a negative PCR test is part of Malta's pronounced effort to wind down Covid-19 rules. Wearing a mask is no longer mandatory and on July 6, the contact tracing Covid-19 Alert Malta app ceased operation.
