Three years after the start of the Covid-19 epidemic, several rules disappear from this Wednesday. First, the end of derogatory sick leave without a waiting day for people who test positive and the end of systematic isolation, which sounds like good news for business owners.
With less than 5,000 cases of Covid-19 per day in France, the Ministry of Health has declared the end of restrictions linked to the epidemic. Good news for business leaders, who see the end of the systematic isolation of people who have contracted the virus, as well as the end of sick leave without a waiting day. “It was still important for us that these restrictions stop”, begins by explaining Ralph Ruimy, director of a Parisian insurance company.

“We are a ‘child of Covid-19’ company since we were created two days before total confinement. So it’s rather good news for a company like ours. We need people to be on site and work because we have services for which we don’t have a lot of teleworking”, he explains.
According to the leader, there has been a lot of abuse with the outbreak. “It was enough to say ‘I have the covid’ not to come to work for seven or ten days”, he accuses, even if officially a document attesting to a positive case had to be delivered by Social Security to justify everything. shutdown related to Covid-19.
From now on, sick leave is always possible if the employee who tested positive does not feel well. Otherwise, she can come to work at her post. “We are going to set up all the possibilities here so that she can come to work. We have the space to be able to isolate her, we have masks for her neighbors and hydroalcoholic gel”, explains Rémi Ruimy. For him, life must resume and the Covid-19 will have to be treated in business like the flu.
