To ask for your help around isolation

Hello, I'm supposed to come out of isolation tonight and be back at work from tomorrow. I'm really really unwell and I'm not able to go to work. Would I need a fit note from the doctor since it's been over 7 days or is self isolating from having COVID completely different? Thank you

I think you’ll still need a doctor note.

Get well soon.

I would think you’d need a note, but ask your manager what they want from you.

What does your contract say about sickness? You'll need to check that.

It says after 7 days sickness I need a fit note, but it doesn't say anything about having coronavirus and being told to self isolate for 10 days and still being terribly unwell

You answered your own question OP. You need a fit note.

If you still have a fever I don’t think you need a fit note as you’re still potentially contagious, but check with your boss.
