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, when joint custody of the child is granted, they are considered members of the same household, even if they belong to different family units, provided they reside in the same home.


This leave may be taken from March 5 through May 3, for a period of no more than 15 days (per child in the household), which may be taken in separate blocks of days.
