Under the employees' compensation benefits program of the Employees Compensation Commission, employees -- who are paying members of the Social Security System -- who are hospitalized and confined for Covid-19 will be compensated throughout their hospital confinement including the cost of medicine, doctor's fee, and rehabilitation.
