Ħal Farruġ
Ħal Farruġ is a hamlet located in the south east of Malta. It was run down in 1941 due to the construction of a new British-controlled airfield. The new runway was to be designated runway 31 and is now the major runway in the Malta International Airport. [1] As of Friday, September 2020, the Maltese Government transferred 15,000 square metres (3.7 acres) to the Valletta (The nation's capital) Football Club to be used as a football pitch.[2] A Covid-19 swab-test center was opened in March 2020. It is located on the outskirts of the hamlet.[3] Within the hamlet's general area, a total number of 24 streets can be found.[4]
