Covid, 70 Italian minors stranded in Malta: “Tired and scared”

More than 70 Italian children, all minors on holiday in Malta, are stranded on the island in a hotel since 21 of them tested positive for Covid with symptoms. “It is a group of boys plus three people from the agency that organized the trip and 21 of the boys tested positive for the swab performed by the Maltese health authorities – tells Adnkronos Rodrigo Sanchez, lawyer and father of one of the boys stuck in Malta -. And all, positive and otherwise, were taken to a hotel where they will have to spend a quarantine of at least 13 days “.

And I would like to thank the agency, as well as the Italian embassy that she immediately activated to give assistance “.” The boys, all between 14 and 15 years old, are tired and some are frightened – continues Sanchez – some are sick and need assistance. They cannot be alone. The Maltese authorities have sent an email to the parents of the children who tested positive and writing that they would be placed in quarantine for 13 days. Of course I do not know how it will be resolved: I hope that the embassy and the director of the travel agency, whom I thank once again for their help the assistance that they immediately gave to the young people, are able to resolve this difficult and complicated situation “.
