► 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.
