Consideration of AT isolation or contagion by coronavirus

Social Security changes the previous criterion and declares that the situations of isolation or contagion of workers who are self-employed or employed as a consequence of COVID-19 are considered assimilated to AT for the purposes of IT financial benefit.

From 12-3-2020, exceptionally and for IT purposes, the periods of isolation or contagion of workers caused by the COVID-19 virus, will be considered a situation assimilated to AT.

The duration of this exceptional benefit will be determined by the isolation part and the corresponding discharge.

This benefit may be caused by self-employed or third-party workers who, at the date of the causal act, are registered in any of the Social Security regimes.

The date of the causal act is the date on which the isolation or illness of the worker is agreed, without prejudice to the fact that the leave is issued after that date.
