Malta is the most densly populated country in malta however, thats an average, cause you get cities like london and madrid that are more densly populated than Malta. I am a laboratory scientist working in Malta's national laboratory and we were aware that this is would eventually happen. Thousands of people contract the seasonal influenza and this is no different, just that being a new strain it is more suseptable to cause a an immune reaction and for symptoms to occur. The risk is for immunocomprimised and debilitated individuals, however, the consequences are equal to that of the ordinary influenza. You can confirm this with reliable sources such as the WHO

Why voluntary quarentine?
I heard from 2 case it went up to 50 over a peiod of a week
This shows clearly that Malta is not controling the swine flu.

As soon as people are identified as infected they should be forced to be quarentined
