Please be reassured that cases remain uncommon, and public health teams are working closely with the NHS and local organisations to manage the situation and keep people safe.

To request a sick note:
If you’re off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you’ve been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you’ve been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.
Find out more about sick notes on the NHS website.
