In this first phase, the government has prioritized the following measures:

  • Measures in the health care system to deal with the emergency situation.
  • Reduce the number of days of payroll pay for employers on layoffs from 15 to 2 days and eliminate the waiting days for unemployment benefits for those who are laid off. At the same time, the requirement to reduce working hours in order to receive unemployment benefits during layoffs is reduced from 50 percent to 40 percent. 
  • Changes in the pension rules so that current retirement pension does not fall away or be reduced by voluntary or ordered service for health personnel in connection with the corona outbreak.
