As a result, certain categories of people were entitled to the payment of social benefits (APG). These people are self-employed persons who had to interrupt their activities because of Covid-19 measures, parents with children aged 12 or under who had to interrupt their activity to look after them because of COVID-19 measures and persons placed in quarantine.
