Back to school, extraordinary leave for workers with children under 14 in quarantine

Smart working for parents with children under 14 in quarantine and leave. These are some of the measures contained in the decree approved by the CDM. “There are also plans – reads the press release issued by Palazzo Chigi at the end of this evening’s council of ministers – measures regarding smart working and extraordinary leave for parents of children under fourteen years of age in cases of quarantine compulsory for children “.

“My thought is that if there is a family of two working parents, if they have an infected child and one of them must stay at home, not necessarily, but it may be true, what remains at home must not lose out. not even one euro “, said the extraordinary commissioner for the coronavirus emergency, Domenico Arcuri, interviewed in Bologna about the possible economic consequences in a family in which, due to the illness of a child, one of the two working parents is forced to stay in home. This is a point, said Arcuri, on which a discussion is underway within the government. “It certainly cannot be imagined that until June there will not even be one infected at school,” added Arcuri, regarding the reopening of the school.

The legislative decree launched today by the Cdm also contains rules that “simplify the allocation of resources for the refinancing of urgent interventions in the field of safety for school buildings allocated with the decree-law of 26 October 2019, n. 124, which, for a total amount of 25 million euros, are intended to support local authorities in urgent interventions for works aimed, in particular, at the adaptation and adaptation of environments and spaces for educational purposes, also employed in lease “.

With regard to public transport “in consideration of the evolution of the pandemic situation and the need to reshape the local public transport service, including school transport, in order to ensure that it is provided in accordance with the measures to contain the spread of Covid-19, it is foreseen for the Regions and the autonomous Provinces and for the local authorities the possibility of using, for the financing of additional transport services, the resources foreseen by the “August decree”, relating to the increase in support for public transport and to the Fund for the exercise of the functions of local authorities ”, reads the note from Palazzo Chigi.
