Technical tests have confirmed there is no danger of contamination from asbestos at the Gozo General Hospital, the Gozo Ministry said.
It said in a statement that the tests were carried out according to health and safety procedures established by the United Kingdom.
These tests, the ministry said, are requested whenever structural or maintenance works were required at the hospital. The ministry pointed out that most of the asbestos ceiling has been replaced with only some corridors still awaiting replacement.
