Focus on the recognition of Covid-19 as an occupational injury in nine European countries
EUROGIP publishes a new Focus on the possibilities of recognition of Covid-19 as an accident at work/occupational disease (AW/OD). The document updates the information published in May 2020.
Indeed, since their first positions were taken in the midst of containment, the occupational injury insurers have refined or changed certain provisions, in particular because of the increase in the number of requests for recognition, both from healthcare workers and from other categories of workers.
Now that the systems have stabilized, certain observations can be made. These are presented in this Focus, together with a summary table and details of the conditions for recognition in nine European countries: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain and Sweden.
