		</div><p>Malta is now requiring proof of vaccination from visitors in hopes of stemming the latest rise in coronavirus infections.</p>
<p>Starting on Wednesday, visitors to the Mediterranean island nation must present a Covid-19 vaccination certificate recognised by Maltese health authorities, meaning certificates issued by Malta, the European Union or the United Kingdom.</p>
<p>The EU’s green passport certifies people who are vaccinated, have a negative PCR test result or have recovered from Covid-19, but Malta has decided to only recognise those who are fully vaccinated.</p>
<p>“Malta will be the first EU country taking this step,” said health minister Chris Fearne.</p>
<p>Children aged five to 12 only need to present a negative PCR test, while those under five are exempt.</p>
<p>Malta, which has a population of just over half a million, had 46 active cases on July 1 but the number rose to 252 on Friday.</p>
<p>The country has reported nearly 31,000 cases and 420 deaths in the pandemic.</p>
<p>The government says 90% of new cases are among unvaccinated people. Currently 79% of Maltese adults are fully vaccinated.</p>
<p>Mr Fearne said most of the new cases were linked to travel.</p>
<p>Several positive cases were also identified in English-language teaching schools, so the government ordered the closure of the schools from Wednesday.</p>
