Isolation

My employer has asked me to get an isolation note. How can I get one?

If you have been asked to get an isolation note from your employer, go to https://111.nhs.uk/covid-19.  There is no need to call your GP and you must not visit your GP practice.

My child has a runny nose. Do I need a doctor’s note to say they can attend school?

Children often have runny noses.  You do not need a note from your doctor to send your child to school if they have a sniffle and your doctor will not provide one if you ask.
