One year on from the start of the Covid pandemic, it is very clear that there were very few transmissions of the virus from sports activities here in Malta.  It is also clear that people who lead healthy lifestyles and are active are much less at risk of developing serious symptoms from Covid.

Yet the Maltese government goes on with the policy of keeping gyms closed and banning organized sports activities.  

This cannot go on.  Our physical and mental health are important!  We keep our health and immune systems strong by being active. 

Obesity, depression, heart problems etc, all kill more people every year.  Malta is officially one of the worst countries in the EU when it comes to dealing with obesity problems, yet these restrictions will only serve to aggravate these problems!

We urge the Maltese government to lift the ban on organized sports, allow the re-opening of gyms, and actually implement policies that encourage healthy lifestyles rather than promoting fear!
