[6][7] On 25 May, Floriana were awarded the championship after a vote taken by the MFA council, their 26th title and level with Sliema Wanderers in the all-time champions list.

[3] Valletta, Birkirkara and Gżira United proposed to the Malta Football Association that the league is not to be cancelled but resumes in June for training and in July when the first matches are to be played.

[11] Eventually, the three clubs wrote to the Prime Minister of Malta Robert Abela to either resume the competition or cancel any sport until a vaccine is found.

[13][14] This was later ended by the Malta Police Force due to social distancing measures still being in place, although some reports argued that this was not timely.

[16][17] The Superintendent of Public Health recommended that all those who attended the celebration get tested;[18] a day after this appeal a surge in phonecalls on the COVID-19 helpline was reported related with this event.
