IM said that workers at the Marsa Junction Project site have been diag- nosed with coronavirus, but did not specify the exact amount. IM said it provided all required infor- mation to the health authorities and supported the project contractor to take additional measures to protect its employees and other workers on site, whilst providing the required medical assistance to the affected employees. "All workers who could have been in contact with the ones who tested posi- tive for the virus are being requested to get tested and to self-isolate for a few weeks, whilst seeking further advice from the government's COVID-19 sup- port services, as necessary." Infrastructure Malta is also in talks with the Marsa Junction Project con- tractor to limit the impact of this sit- uation on the completion timelines. Works on three new flyovers were being finalised this week to open more lanes of the €70 million multi-level intersec- tion project. "To ensure workers' safety, the open- ing of these lanes and flyovers may now have to be postponed by a few weeks," IM said. Earlier this year the agency asked its contractors to implement several meas- ures to protect workers, their fami- lies and nearby communities from the spread of COVID-19. "These measures are still applicable to all its work sites, in addition to all directives issued by the health authori- ties for the public. Amongst other pre- cautions, workers are keeping a safe distance from each other whilst on site and breaks in groups are not allowed. Meetings in enclosed areas, such as site offices, are being avoided, as the pro- ject teams are making increased use of alternative communication channels. All surfaces on site, including tools and machinery, are being cleaned more of- ten." Final works to open more lanes on three new may have to be postponed by a few weeks, IM said � � FreeDailyCrosswords.com ACROSS----------- I) Insect eler 5) Avian claw 10) Item of finality in the paper 14) Petri dish gelatin 15) Sans support 16) Political competition 17) U. of Arkansas gridders 19) Type of rug 20) It won't hold water 21) Bird feeder fill 22) North Atlantic od fishes 23) Like some jokes and jobs 25) First-person figure 27) Feeble-minded 29) Easily vexed 32) Throb pain lly 35) Abdominal anomaly 39) "I've und you out at last!" 40) Oozy stuff 4 I) Many moisturizers 42) It may be esh or stale 43) Hold the title to 44) "I, Robot" writer 45) Cathedral section 46) Senator who made the rounds? 48) Stash finder 50) Making a team, as om oxen 54) They set out to cross the line 58) Convergence points 60) Tidy 62) Work on a wall 63) Winged god of love 64) Ignore 66) Break, as a horse 67) Rocker Winter 68) Trip provider? 69) Priestly robes 70) Bottle redheads 71) Neighbor of Vietnam CLEAN THAT UP!
