Malta records first coronavirus death

Malta recorded its first coronavirus victim Wednesday, after a 92-year old woman with underlying health issues died, the deputy prime minister said.

“Unfortunately, this will not be the first and last death. We can see what is happening across the world and Malta is no exception,” Chris Fearne told a press conference, urging people to respect social distancing rules.
