A Maltese man living in Portugal is claiming discrimination as his EU COVID Pass is not recognised in Malta, grounding his family’s trip to see his seriously ill mother.
James Cutajar says he and his children are in a race against time to see his mother unless he goes through an expensive and lengthy quarantine.
For a year and a half, the COVID-19 pandemic has made it impossible for Cutajar’s children to visit their grandmother in Malta.
The software developer faced a travel nightmare as a number of airlines cancelled direct flights to Malta from Porto in the past year. He was relieved with the reopening of tourism to Malta last month, and managed to book flights for his family to visit Malta in July.
