| Abstract: | 2019 marks the year that the world’s attention shifted to
Wuhan China and Coronavirus. Malta, an independent
island state with a population of around half a million, used

management with policies that ensured an R factor
remaining steadily above 1, and allowing the country to
plummet towards the bottom of Europe’s pandemic activity. On 24 January 2020, Maltese Public Health authorities had predicted low exposure as there were no direct flights between Malta and China. However, when the disease spread to Northern Italy it came very close to home. [excerpt] |
