COVID-19 is pandemic (October 2020), opening up many research opportunities. This collection of Best Practice Guidelines (BPG) regarding COVID-19 continues in the footsteps of the previous. Two papers review population-based declines in patient hospital encounters in Malta, in general and in paediatrics. Six articles are Medical Humanities oriented. Two historical papers compare the Spanish Flu pandemic and COVID-19 in Malta, with focus on masking. The third paper reviews sports and sportsmen as role models for the COVID-19 era. Another paper reveals the significant correlation between emotional content of Facebook posts and the day-to-day COVID-19 situation in Malta. Fake news regarding COVID-19/its vaccine are reviewed along with a website designed to specifically provide accurate daily updates. Two papers deal with questionnaires that scrutinize vaccine hesitancy for influenza and COVID-19. One survey run through University of Malta Faculties of Health Sciences, Dentistry and Medicine, and the other to General Practitioners and their trainees in Malta. Another paper estimates population based costs for Malta in its preparation for COVID-19 and a paper reviews pandemic responses and outcomes of three small European island states: Cyprus, Iceland and Malta. A final paper concludes by attempting to presage the possible seasonal shape of things to come vis-à-vis seasonal influenza and COVID-19 which will co-circulate, by reviewing events in the southern hemisphere which is emerging from winter. We dedicate both BPGs to the ill and to the fallen.
