The parent will decide whether to use sick leave, paid leave or state assistance of up to BGN 610 per month in quarantine at school or kindergarten due to coronavirus.
A sick leave can also be used for a healthy child who returns home, experts from the Ministry of Social Affairs explained.
If the father prefers, he can use his paid leave. The new state assistance will be given when a family member is on unpaid leave.
The assistance is proportional to the days of quarantine. For a child, it is up to BGN 610. If the father has to stay home with him for up to 5 working days, the state pays BGN 152.5 for them, and for 10 working days the amount is BGN 305.
The amount is greater for families with two or more children: up to BGN 915 Therefore, for 5 days they will receive BGN 228.75 and, for BGN 10, 457.5.
