Should DH be staying off work for two weeks if I have symptoms but I'm sure it's not Coronavirus?

I have had terrible fevers for the last few days, GP thought it was a bacterial infection so prescribed antibiotics. I am starting to feel a bit better now so assume GP was correct.

So does DH need to stay off work now? He's saying he doesn't because I don't think it was Coronavirus. I say yes because the rule is if you have any of the symptoms whether or not you think it was Coronavirus. Obviously nobody is getting tested so nobody knows, which is, I assume, why they don't tell you to self-isolate if "you think you have Coronavirus" otherwise must people wouldn't, including people who do actually have it.

Who is right?

He is a key worker (though he won't be missed at the moment).

Yes stay in .. I've had a cold and no fever or anything aside from a runnny nose and I've stayed in . The temp is a big sign of an infection?!!
