ELDERLY people in public and private care res-
idences will not be receiving government's sec-
ond round of COVID-19 vouchers announced
last week but will instead be receiving €100
directly in their bank account or as a cheque,
depending on how they currently receive their
governnment pension.

THE government has warned
platform-work apps it will not
tolerate legally dubious work
contracts and 50% pay cuts.
Minister Carmelo Abela told
food delivery app stakehold-
ers and recruiters that such
working conditions were un-
acceptable, in a meeting
held at the Auberge de Cas-
tille on Thursday last week.
Abela said he made the gov-
ernment's position clear in
a meeting with stakeholders
over various illegalities in the
employment practices of food
couriers, and that the equal-
pay-for-equal-work principle
must be respected.
