Vaccinated people who do not show any symptoms of Covid are not being asked to self-isolate if they have been a close contact
There are reports that vaccinated and unvaccinated workers may have different Covid 19 related welfare entitlements.
The Irish Times reports that close contacts of people who have been diagnosed as having Covid-19, and who have to stay at home from work and self-isolate, can apply for a Covid enhanced illness benefit of €350 a week.
People who are not vaccinated and who have come into close contact with someone with Covid-19, should self-isolate.
However, vaccinated people who do not show any symptoms of Covid are not being asked to self-isolate if they have been a close contact of someone with the illness.
ISME says this means it is unclear as to whether a vaccinated employee is able to avail of the enhanced illness benefit if they are restricting [their] movement and vaccinated, as that is outside public health guidance.
Neil McDonnell, CEO of ISME, has been speaking to Clem Ryan on Wednesday's edition of Kildare Today.
