When to request fit note?

Hi. I'm currently laid low by Covid and initially started feeling unwell last Thursday during the remaining two days of my annual leave. Feeling pretty rotten so let work know I wouldn't be in yesterday and called them again today to confirm still not feeling well. 24 hours since fever broke but still feeling ill. While I hope I can at least start doing some work from home soon, I'm not 100% confident that I'll be ok tomorrow. Could wake up bright as a button but if not, conscious I'll potentially need a fit note. Not sure how it works. Do you wait until day 7 to speak to GP? Completely overthinking but just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing. Any advice appreciated.

Yeah wait until day 7 if it goes past day 7 that's fine to as they can back date. They will not do a fit note before 7 days and they won't forward date one.
