The profit in the income tax declaration determines the compensation

In the event of personal quarantine ordered by the public health department, self-employed persons are also compensated in accordance with §56 of the Protection against Infection Act. The compensation is based on the profit shown in the tax assessment for the last year. It must always be an official quarantine, so the appropriate health office should be contacted.

⚠️ However, anyone who can work from home must do so, as everyone is obliged to minimise the damage caused.
