Unvaccinated travellers must pay \u20ac1,400 for quarantine hotel room<\/p>\n

Unvaccinated travellers entering Malta<\/a> must pay a minimum of €1,400 for a hotel room to observe a mandatory quarantine period upon arrival in the country, the Malta Tourism Authority have said.<\/p>\n

The news comes after legal notices issued on Tuesday repealed a complete ban on travel into the country for anyone who hasn’t been vaccinated – something which came after EU criticism, instead introducing a mandatory 14-day quarantine period for any unvaccinated arrivals.<\/p>\n

Now, the MTA have revealed through their social media pages that “anyone coming to Malta without a vaccination certificate for any EMA-approved Covid-19 vaccine shall be subject to mandatory quarantine in a hotel and shall also be subject to a minimum accommodation cost of €1,400 per room.”<\/p>\n

The certificate must be issued 14 days after the second dose of the vaccine, or after the single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in case that is the jab taken.<\/p>\n

The travel advice update doesn’t make any distinction between tourists and Maltese residents, and neither does it make a distinction between those who are medically unable to get vaccinated or those who are willingly not taking the vaccine.<\/p>\n

The hotel quarantine is similar to that employed in the United Kingdom, where arrivals from red list countries were forced to self-isolate in designated quarantine hotels at their own expense.<\/p>\n
