Malta reopened for tourism on Tuesday when seated weddings with 100 people inside and 300 outside also became permissible. Language schools can also start to reopen and mask-wearing is also no longer mandatory on beaches.

On Wednesday, hundreds of people queued at the Malta International Airport's arrivals hall to have their COVID-19 documents checked, before being allowed entry to the country.
