It is established that all insured persons who have been diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2, as well as those who have been affected by an isolation measure to prevent the spread of the virus and who are unable to work, have the right to receive financial benefits for temporary disability under the conditions determined by the Social Security Act in the event of an accident at work or occupational disease. It is not a question of granting SARS-CoV-2 the character of an occupational disease, which is not the case, but only of exceptionally applying this scheme for the purposes, exclusively, of the economic benefits for temporary disability, and with a limited character in the time. The Law also establishes that salaried people and people who carry out a self-employed activity who have maintained their activity during the period of the health crisis have the right to receive economic benefits for 100% temporary disability, as long as they have not contracted a private insurance that covers them. However, this provision is restricted to people working in the health and socio-health fields.
