New medical centre opens in Malta to house migrant open centre COVID-19 patients

Title

A new medical centre will open this week in &al Far, Malta to accommodate COVID-19 patients from the Open Centre for migrants, which is currently under mandatory quarantine following a number of  COVID-19 cases there. The new medical centre can accommodate around 150 people.

This centre will be managed by the Agency for the Welfare of Asylum Seekers, in collaboration with doctors, nurses and members from the Malta Red Cross and the health authorities.
