Still ill after 7days, 111 or GP?

Can anyone who works in the NHS advise please? I took ill last weekend with cough and flu-like symptoms, have isolated for 7 days. I've had some days where I felt awful but no major breathlessness etc so don't need any medical care, just rest etc . I have no idea if I have CV or regular flu but am now at end of 7 days and still the same so probably need sick line for work and wondered what the best thing to do was. Do I phone my local health centre tomorrow or 111? Thanks

If you need a sick note contact your gp.

No, don’t contact your GP. You can get a note online. www.gov.uk/government/news/online-isolation-notes-launched-providing-proof-of-coronavirus-absence-from-work
