One patient recovered, which means that the number of ac- tive cases is now 26. Since the start of the pandemic in March, Malta registered 632 cases of COVID-19, including nine deaths and 597 recoveries. Malta lifted almost all restric- tions last Friday and the airport is expected to open on 1 July after the number of new cases dropped significantly. MASSIMO COSTA KONRAD Mizzi has returned to Malta after an extended ab- sence, it has been reported. Net News spotted the ex-tourism minister exiting Malta airport after flying back to the island from the UK on Tuesday afternoon. Mizzi, who remains a Labour MP, had not attended Parlia- ment since March, saying he was unable to leave Britain - where he owns a home - for medical reasons. It had been reported that he had presented a doctor's cer- tificate to certify that he was unfit to travel to Malta. He will now have to spend 14 days in mandatory quar- antine, in line with the health authorities' COVID-19 meas- ures. When asked by reporters, as he was leaving the airport, why he was in the UK, Mizzi replied that he had travelled there for work-related rea- sons, and subsequently fell ill and stayed there until he re- covered. He declined to answer more questions, saying he was tired and would speak once his mandatory quarantine period was over. Mizzi stepped down as minister last November, in the wake of mass protests connected with revelations emerging from the investi- gation into Daphne Caruana Galizia's murder. Caruana Galizia had in 2016 revealed that Mizzi had, while occupying the position of en- ergy minister, set up a secret shell company in Panama and a trust in New Zealand. In May, PN MP Jason Azz- opardi claimed in Parliament that Mizzi had sought a guar- antee that he would not be arrested by the police if he returned to Malta. Nationalist MEP David Ca- sa, writing on Twitter, insinu- ated that there was a connec- tion between the nomination of Angelo Gafà as Malta's new police chief on Monday, and Mizzi's decision to come back to Malta.
