The government have today extended the statutory sick pay scheme. This scheme is for those who under the new ‘test and trace’ system in England are told that they have come into contact with someone with coronavirus. If they are told that, as part of their civic duty they are asked to self-isolate for 14 days. If that person is employed they will now be entitled to claim statutory sick pay. https://www.facebook.com/MewiesSolicitors/videos/885176701958196/
