Hi @Shwetagrover Attaching it here. Since it’s published under the “Disaster Management Act” - it comes into power than any other act subsiding them. [English Trans \_ Order 14 days leave.pdf](https://community.greythr.com/uploads/short-url/yQ5rriqRPFYWfOSl9cmQwtyKy8g.pdf) (156.6 KB) ---

Hi Dinesh, This order does not states 28 days paid sick leaves as per that Karnataka Kannada circular. Is that circular been withdrawn ? Also, I am repeating here my same question since yesterday on this thread that whether this clause will be applicable to small scale IT company? Thanks ---

I agree to that. Karnataka order says 14 days of quarantine leave. ---

Just to add up and clarify the days of leave @Shwetagrover The state government on Wednesday told the [Karnataka](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/karnataka) high court that employees/workers in the organised and unorganised sectors, who had contracted Covid-19 or primary contacts of infected persons are entitled to full [paid leave] for the entire isolation/ quarantine period. As on date the quarantine period by ICMR is 14 days and hence this is applicable subsiding the previous 28 days of leaves. And this is only for People infected not for taking care of infected family members (for which Org, can come up with a separate policy). And this applicable to all industries across the state being a disaster management act. ---
