50% subsidy for anti-Covid expenses
Companies with fewer than 50 employees and the self-employed can benefit from the " Prévention Covid " scheme set up by the French health insurance scheme to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 in the workplace.
If you have invested in protective equipment since March 14, or are planning to do so, you can benefit from a subsidy of up to 50% of your investment.
This scheme applies to purchases or rentals made between March 14 and July 31, 2020, and entitles you to a subsidy of 50% of the investment (excluding tax) in COVID-19 protective equipment.
The subsidy is conditional on a minimum investment of €1,000 (excl. VAT) for a company with employees, and €500 (excl. VAT) for a self-employed person without employees.
The maximum grant is €5,000 for the following two categories:
Barrier measures and social distancing :
- Equipment to isolate the workstation from contact with customers or the public: installation of glass, Plexiglas, partitions, tarpaulins, fixed or mobile screens.
- Equipment to guide and enforce distances:
- line guides,
- posts and grilles,
- wall hooks,
- removable barriers,
- associated cords and straps,
- carts for transporting posts,
- barriers, ropes.

- Measures for visual communication: screens, boards, poster supports, posters. Single-use items (scotch tape, paints, ribbons, plastic film, paperboard refills, pencils, felt-tip pens, etc.) are not covered.
Hygiene and cleaning measures :
- Permanent facilities for hand and body washing: for showers, the cost of installed equipment and plumbing work required for installation are covered,
- Temporary and additional facilities such as toilets/lavatories/showers: payment for installation, removal and 4 months' rental.
Please note: Masks, hydro-alcoholic gels and visors are only funded if the company has also invested in at least one of the barrier and social distancing measures listed above. Gloves and wipes are not subsidized.
