Employees in the private sector forced to keep their children due to the closure of their nursery, school or college and who will be unable to telework will be placed in partial activity, the government announced Wednesday evening in a statement.

They will thus be able to "benefit from a replacement income from the first day of their stoppage of work, and at the latest until the end of the period of isolation", specifies the Ministry of Solidarity and Health.

"This compensation may benefit one parent per household, in the event of the incapacity for teleworking of both parents and upon presentation of proof".

Elisabeth Borne and Jean-Michel Blanquer, guests of BFMTV on Monday, had indicated that a “special Covid” sick child device was going to be unveiled for parents who must keep their child who can no longer go to school.

"The priority is that parents can continue to work," recalled Elisabeth Borne, the Minister of Labor.

If that is not possible, we finalize a device, whether it be daily allowances or partial activity that we are in the process of arbitrating.
