Can a positive case have a certificate of isolation?
Covid-positive people who cannot telework can request a work stoppage and benefit from an isolation certificate.
You have a complete vaccination schedule within the meaning of the health/vaccination pass, you are not subject to isolation. So you can’t not claim a work stoppage and therefore request a certificate of isolation. Unless you are in contact with your child under 16 positive for covid. One control will be carried out by the health insurance.
You have an incomplete vaccine regimen within the meaning of the health/vaccination pass: you cannot make a request for a derogatory work stoppage (and obtain an isolation certificate) that after being contacted:
- by a telephone call or an SMS with instructions from the Health Insurance,
- by a positive patient who has warned you and informed you of the instructions to follow,
- by an email of instructions sent by the Health Insurance,
- or by an SMS referring to the consultation of a site dedicated to contact persons, on which the instructions presented must imperatively have been validated for your request to stop to be processed

The isolation certificate below (if it is completed by a doctor) is equivalent to part 3 of a work stoppage notice. It must be given to your employer (or to each of them if you have several employers). They will take care of sending a salary certificate to your primary health insurance fund (CPAM).
Two solutions to obtain an isolation certificate:
► Either you will see your attending physician who can complete an isolation certificate and give it to you at the end of the consultation.
► Either you go to the site declare.ameli.fr and you complete a request for a declaration of home maintenance (check boxes depending on your situation). After verification, Ameli will send you, first, a confirmation email attesting to the need for isolation which can be sent to your employer while waiting to receive the official isolation certificate on your Ameli account.
How do I upload it to Ameli?
To obtain a certificate of isolation, the insured can go to the site declare.ameli.fr and complete an application for declaration of home support. Ameli will check your situation and send you an email confirming receipt of your request. This email will serve as a certificate to give to your employer while waiting to receive the official certificate directly on your Ameli account or by mail.
The MSA (Agricultural Social Mutual Fund) manages the health, family, retirement, work accidents of farmers and agricultural employees. It is possible to obtain and print the form for a request for a certificate of isolation in the event of symptoms of Covid-19 and in the event of impossibility of teleworking, directly on the MSA website. This document will be to give to your employer at the start of your isolation. You must complete and sign it before sending it to him. Please note that this request does not constitute automatic compensation by the MSA. This is subordinate:
- to the effective performance of a screening test,
- the fact that, upon receipt of your test result, you complete the derogatory work stoppage declaration available on your MSA’s website, in the Covid-19 > Covid-19: what you need to know section
How long does it take to receive your isolation certificate?
The isolation certificate is available on his Ameli account:
- At the end of 7 days if you have an Ameli account
- At the end of 12 days if you do not have an Ameli account
Do you have to give your certificate to the employer?
The document attesting to the isolation must be sent to his business (employer) or his training organization who will take the steps (with the CPAM or the MSA) for you to be compensated during your isolation.
If you are a student, on a work-study program or on a professional contract, for example, the document attesting to the isolation must be given to your training organization. It is he who will take the steps with the CPAM or the MSA so that you can benefit from compensation during your isolation.
