As EL COLOMBIANO had anticipated last Wednesday, the Government will take into account three factors to determine the distribution of the money. The bonus will be between 1 and 4.5 minimum wages, for which the base contribution income to the health system, the level of schooling and the level of exposure to the virus will be taken into account.
Likewise, Adres explained that the payment will be made daily, gradually, “in accordance with the entity’s operational capacities and budget availability.” Still 230,000 health workers who were registered by their employers remain awaiting the remaining transfers.
To achieve this, the Ministry of Health must purify the lists ensuring that all those registered comply with the requirements set forth in Resolution 1774 of October 6, 2020, which stipulated the monetary benefit.
