Like the rest of the Infrastructural changes were made to Iceland's and Malta's state hospitals, with an increase in intensive care unit (ICU) beds and ventilators to accommodate potential COVID-19 surges in critical cases [1, 7] . A number of similar restrictions and mandatory legislations were instituted by the governments of the three small Island countries as seen in Table 1 with a Public Health Emergency declared by each country [1, 3, 9, 10] . The Republic of Cyprus was observed to have had the best curbing ability of the viral infection (up till the time of writing) out of the three small Islands as restrictions were eased, including the re-opening of the airports.	./cache/cord-305281-vlsy1ofk.txt	./txt/cord-305281-vlsy1ofk.txt
