Prior to 1 April, seeing how the pandemic affected the country, SOCSO had processed claims involving COVID-19 as an 'occupational disaster', instead of an occupational disease per what the standard operating procedures should state, it added.
Compensation shall be given according to how the person has been affected by the virus.
People in this category include those who work in schools, airports, labour centres, retail centres, consulting rooms and so on.
According to the statement, benefit claim applications by IPs that were confirmed positive for Covid-19 before April 1 will be processed as occupational disasters.
For applications involving contributors who were confirmed positive before April 1, Socso said the claims would still be processed as an employment injury.
