President George Abela is walking but needs plenty of rest and physiotherapy, his wife Margaret Abela said in comments this morning.

She said that Dr Abela was in high spirits and was trying to work from his bed as best he could with the assistance of his staff.

Dr Abela was discharged from hospital yesterday and is recovering at San Anton Palace. He was not present at Mass at San Anton this morning.
