PN Spokesperson for Gozo Chris Said has called for stricter restrictions in terms of who could cross from Malta to Gozo on the Gozo Channel to be imposed.
Said said on Facebook that a considerable amount of people decided to cross to Gozo to spend the day or the weekend there.
"Many were seen walking around many areas in Gozo... In normal times we would welcome this and we would do all we can so that they can enjoy Gozo's beauty. But these are not normal times, and we must take all the necessary steps to exit from this difficult period in the shortest time possible and with the least damage possible."
This, Said argued, is why he believes that the time has come for the Gozo minister to consider imposing restrictions on who can cross from Malta to Gozo and vice-versa.
He said that these restrictions are needed urgently given that we are now moving into spring.
