I'd like to know that aswell as I'm an asthmatic and have COPD. I did ask today and was told if I go off I wouldn't get paid RM wage, don't know if that was because I asked a LM and they are acting like arses over this. It seems Coronvirus isn't a problem in their little bubble!

It's full sick pay, even for employees with less than a year's service. Straight from the horses mouth in RMTV video about 3 mins in:

It's with reference to new starters, but can be inferred that this will apply to senior members. Also confirmed by CWU in latest LTB 127/20:
