If you need to stay at home due to coronavirus, you can now get a note online. 

Usually, a patient needs to see their doctor, who can sign them off work. 

But due to the coronavirus pandemic, the NHS has made it possible to get a note online after an assessment. 

The isolation note can be provided as evidence to an employer that a person has been advised to self-quarantine due to COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.

This is either because they have symptoms or they live with someone who has them, and so cannot work.
