Betsson Group has announced it will be supporting Malta’s healthcare professionals by providing free accommodation in its block of apartments.

Seven apartments will be used by professionals who do not wish to go back home and put their families at risk after being exposed to COVID-19.

Healthcare workers, delivery persons and other frontline workers fear they are risking family members’ health after coming back home from a day of work, prompting many to find alternative accommodation where possible.

Since the beginning of the pandemic’s story in Malta, stories of developers, landlords and even the Malta Football Association providing accommodation to such workers have been circulated.

Betsson Group has been headquartered in Malta since 2004 and today employs over 900 people across central functions such as HR, Legal and Finance, Customer Service, Odds Compiling, Digital Marketing and Technology. It has two offices on the island, located in Ta’ Xbiex and a new space in St Julian’s.
