Covid 2021 quarantine, INPS: “No resources, compensation will not be paid”

The allowance for the covid quarantine in 2021 will not be paid by the INPS. “INPS confirms that, with regard to the social security allowance for sickness in the event of quarantine (art. 26, decree-law 17 March 2020, n. 18), it will proceed to the definitive recognition of the amounts due for 2020 based on the certifications certifying the quarantine with fiduciary isolation drawn up by the treating doctors, even in cases where it has not been possible to find any indication on the provision issued by the public health operator. However, since the legislator has not allocated new resources for 2021, the indemnity will not be able to also be disbursed for events that took place in the current year “, reads the Institute’s website. “With regard to ‘fragile’ workers, whose absence from work is equivalent to hospitalization (art. 26, c. 2 of Legislative Decree 18/2020), the Institute will provide the benefit relating to events in 2020 and only for those occurring up to June 30, 2021, even if the decree-law July 23, 2021, n. 105 deferred to October 31, 2021 the right recognized to fragile workers to carry out their work in smart working “.
