ECC COVID-19 Claims

Requested from ECC by M. Halog III at 02:09 PM on Apr 05, 2022.
Purpose: Proper Application of ECC Claim
Date of Coverage: 04/05/2021 - 02/25/2022
Tracking no: #ECC-441296755360

Halog III 02:09 PM, Apr 05, 2022 

Good day,

May I ask clarify on the situation:
If an employee is living and working inside the company. And he went out from the company site to do work-related errands, if he acquires COVID while outside the company premises, will he be entitled for ECC Claims related to COVID? Will it be considered a work-related illness considering that he is performing a work-related activity though already he is already outside the company premises?
