🇬🇧 Cold Weather Advisory – Malta
Adverse cold weather conditions are currently affecting parts of Malta, increasing the risk of slips, falls, and cold-related illness. There is no need for freezing temperatures for a dangerously low body temperature to occur, particularly among elderly and vulnerable persons.

🧓👵 Please check on elderly relatives and neighbours regularly:
🏠 Keep homes adequately warm
🧣 Encourage warm clothing and hot drinks
⚠️ A simple fall, especially if a person remains on the ground for some time, can lead to a dangerously low body temperature.

📞🚑 If a low body temperature or serious injury is suspected, CALL 112 immediately.

Stay alert, stay safe, and look out for one another.

🚨 Rapid Intervention Prevents Escalation – St Venera Tunnels 🚨

Earlier today, a vehicle fire inside the St Venera tunnels was swiftly brought under control following the prompt intervention of a Mater Dei Hospital nurse, together with an emergency ambulance responder, who were on duty in a Rapid Response Vehicle.

The responders were passing through the area alongside an ambulance when the incident was identified. Immediate action was taken using a fire extinguisher, successfully extinguishing the fire and preventing further escalation, thereby reducing risk to the vehicle occupants and other road users.

Mater Dei Hospital acknowledges the professionalism, readiness, and decisive action demonstrated, which contributed directly to safeguarding public safety. 👏🚑🔥
