The present legislative regulation comes to complete the situations that are not provided in the existing legislation, regarding the way of granting the medical leave and the afferent indemnity, in pandemic conditions. Its purpose is to improve the access of insured persons to the benefits provided by the social health insurance system.
New regulations were introduced regarding the forms of quarantine and the way of granting medical leave certificates for people in isolation/quarantine due to the pandemic. Thus, the right to medical leave and to the indemnity for temporary incapacity for work is also granted to people in isolation or quarantine in situations of epidemiological risk. The medical certificates are issued by the attending physicians, who have taken care of the respective cases. Also, the gross monthly amount of the quarantine or isolation allowance increased from 75% to 100% of calculation basis and is fully supported by the Unique National Health Insurance Fund.
Not known. It depends on the pandemic evolution.
