Academic and diplomat Simone Borg will chair a steering group tasked with drafting a post-COVID strategy for Malta, the government announced on Saturday.
Borg, who heads the Department of Environmental Law at the University of Malta’s Faculty of Laws, will lead seven other steering group members and coordinate development of the post-COVID strategy.
Her appointment was announced by minister Owen Bonnici, whose portfolio includes coordination of post-COVID-19 strategy.
The steering group has been given until the end of June to develop the strategy, which it will draft after assessing work under way in various ministers to see how it could affect post-pandemic recovery and looking at what other countries are doing as they prepare for life after COVID-19.
