Malta’s President forfeits one month’s salary; frees up his chefs to cook up meals for health-care workers at Mater Dei Hospital

President George Vella has forfeited one month’s salary and freed up his chefs to cook up meals for health-care workers at Mater Dei Hospital to help authorities in their fight against coronavirus.

In a gesture of solidarity with coronavirus frontliners, the staff at San Anton Palace’s kitchen have been cooking meals and sending them to the national hospital.

President Vella has also given up one month’s salary in a symbolic gesture to help boost the government’s coffers to fight COVID-19.

The Office of the President continues to provide aid to families in need through the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation.

Billboards reserved for the Foundation have been made available to public health authorities, to use to convey useful messages to help stop the spread of the virus.
