The Egyptian Social Security Law No. 148\/2019 (the \u201cLaw<\/strong>\u201d) defines \u201cwork injury\u201d as any injury caused by an accident occurred during the performance of work or resulting from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is considered a work injury; any accident which occurs to the person during daily work commute; provided that there was no stoppage or deviation from the normal route of the commute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work injuries may result in (1)<\/strong> curable health condition which requires medical treatment, (2)<\/strong> total disability or permanent partial disability which prevents the person from performing his\/her work, or (3)<\/strong> death of the injured person. The entitled pensions and benefits under the Law varies form one case to another depending on the consequences of the injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few weeks ago, the Health Insurance Authority in Egypt issued a circular (the \u201cCircular<\/strong>\u201d) deciding that death from COVID-19 can be considered a work-related injury for workers in the governmental sector, private sector workers, doctors, and other categories of workers as may be decided \u2013 from time to time – by the Specialized Committee for Occupational Diseases and Disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Circular specifies certain documents that shall be submitted to benefit from the pensions and compensations allocated for work-injuries and work-related deaths. This includes, for instance, Social Security Form 29 and a medical report with PCR which indicates infection with Covid-19 (or alternative medical analysis).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
