Compensate quarantined self-employed for lost income, health institute advises
NL TimesSelf-employed persons who have to go into quarantine due to the coroanvirus pandemic, should be compensated for the income they lost while isolating, the behavioral unit of public health institute RIVM recommended in a report on increasing adherence to the coronavirus rules. A study published by the RIVM on Saturday showed that 60 percent of people who were told to quarantine at home in the past six weeks, still went outside at least once. The behavioral unit therefore recommended that the government take measures to reward following the rules, like compensating self-employed persons for the income they lost while adhering to quarantine advice. Punishment is difficult at the moment: people who have symptoms and have not yet been tested must already be in isolation at this point and you do not know who they are," Bas den Putte, member of the behavioral unit and professor of health and communication at the University of Amsterdam, said to BNR.
