Many companies have revised their sickness policies to account for COVID-19, as it is a highly contagious and potentially serious illness. Some companies have treated COVID-19 as a separate category of sickness, while others have included it as part of their existing sickness policy.

The exact date when a specific company changed its policy regarding COVID-19 may vary. It is best to contact the HR department of RM or check their official website or employee handbook for information about their sickness policies and how they have been updated in response to COVID-19.

In general, companies have been advised to follow guidelines from public health authorities and take steps to protect their employees and customers from the spread of COVID-19. This may include offering remote work options, providing sick leave for employees who are diagnosed with COVID-19 or are required to self-isolate, and implementing safety measures in the workplace to reduce the risk of transmission.

There is none per se.
Now normal sickness rules apply.

A manager does not have to count such absences towards an attendance review, so my advice would be that employees who remain absent in order to protect the health of their colleagues continue to raise this as mitigation as part of the attendance procedure. Whether or not to award the attendance review is at the discretion of the manager, and it will depend on a number of factors – including (but not limited to) the amount of Covid related absence that the employee has already taken over the last two years and whether or not this is below or above the norm.
