Following the clarifications regarding the procedures for taking COVID-19 leave (Art. 23 of Decree-Law No. 18/2020), specifically regarding its compatibility with other types of leave (Table 1) or regarding the compatibility of the leave with the circumstances of the other parent belonging to the same household (Table 2), a summary of the Institute’s guidelines is provided below.


The household of the parent requesting COVID-19 leave consists of the members listed on the family status certificate.

In the case of separated or divorced spouses, however, where the child is under joint custody, they are considered to belong to the same household, even if they are listed under different family statuses, provided they reside in the same dwelling.


This leave may be taken from March 5 through May 3, for a period not exceeding 15 days (for each child in the household), which may be taken in separate blocks of days.
