The coronavirus pandemic in Malta continues to dominate the Italian headlines as Italian media reported that a woman who returned to Palermo from Malta is in serious condition  in intensive care at the Cervello hospital in the Sicilian capital

She tested positive for Coronavirus last Thursday after returning from a trip to Malta.

The councillor for health, Ruggero Razza  was quoted by Palermo Today as saying that there is concern about the Maltese outbreak of coronavirus especially because of the direct connection between Sicily and Malta.
