MaltaPost has released a new stamp issue “to honour Malta’s healthcare workers” in the fight against COVID-19. The philatelic issue is available as of today.

“This set is dedicated to the nurses, carers, doctors and other hospital staff who quarantine with their patients, who missed out on their personal life to ensure the safety and quality of care of their patients during the COVID-19 pandemic,” MaltaPost shares on socials. “The issue is also dedicate to all the workers in the essential services.”

Two of the three stamps are from paintings by Madeleine Gera and another by Andrew Micallef. The stamps will be available as sheets of 10, with each stamp carrying a face value of 30c. The entire issues consists of 500,000 stamps.
