If the insured leaves the company for medical treatment due to a Covid 19 infection and cannot receive compensation from the employer, the already existing sickness and sickness allowance will be paid. It will also apply to cases in which the insured is positive to Covid 19 but has no symptoms or that an insured with symptoms is doing home treatment. In the latter case, a doctor's note acquired later on or at least employer's certificate is required.
