- In Finland workers receive benefits equivalent to full pay from day one of isolation.

- In France the government changed the law to make it clear to employers that anyone self-isolating under government advice qualifies for sick leave in the same way as anyone who is ill.

- In Holland employers can& #39;t oblige workers to use holiday leave if they are in isolation & must continue to pay them as normal.

- In Sweden it& #39;s employers’ responsibility to minimise the spread of any infection & they must continue to pay employees who are told to self-isolate.
