Apply for compensation under the Infection Prevention Act for operating costs not covered

In the event of a ban on activities or a quarantine, as a self-employed person or self-employed person, in addition to the claim for compensation for loss of earnings, you also have a claim for reimbursement of continuing non-covered operating expenses, such as rent or loans.

This only applies to operating expenses that cannot be avoided.

In addition, you must keep operating costs as low as possible.

Reimbursement will be made to a reasonable extent.

This is a so-called "optional benefit". This means that the authority has leeway to assess whether a claim exists and how high it is.

• you are self-employed
