A member asked:

I am covid positive and need a sick note for work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stay home: You must quarantine for two weeks and be tested and monitored by your physician until your COVID negative. You could be a super spreader if you go back to work too soon. Your medical testers will provide you with a verification of your illness.
