Tourists who travel to Malta and do not provide the required COVID-19 documentation will be carrying out their quarantine at the Marina Hotel Corinthia Beach Resort in St. George’s Bay. Authorities approved the hotel as a quarantine hotel, with tourists who do not provide the required documents having to pay  €120 for a PCR test and €100 for every night spent in accommodation. The accommodation fee is not inclusive of hotel services, including food and drink.

Should a tourist turn out COVID-19 positive, they must pay for the entire stay until they are registered as COVID-19 free. With 200 rooms in the hotel, the tourists will not be allowed to leave their room but will be serviced by staff until allowed to leave by the local authorities. Corinthia Group company secretary Jean-Pierre Schembri informed Times of Malta that the hotel had its doors closed since March 2020 and is not set to cater for these specific tourists.
