An isolation certificate is issued by Health Insurance to any person forced to isolate themselves for having contracted Covid-19 or being a contact case. It is necessary to transmit it to his employer. Here’s how to get it.
When a person contracts the Covid-19, she must follow the isolation recommendations. A certificate must be requested from Health Insurance and must be sent to his employer to justify his situation. Above all, it is necessary because, in the event of impossibility of continuing one’s professional activity from home for various reasons (deteriorating state of health, non-teleworking job), this certificate makes it possible to obtain compensation to compensate for a work stoppage . Attention, in the event of manifestation of symptoms, in the event of a positive result in a self-test, you must isolate yourself and take a test as soon as possible to confirm the diagnosis.
The procedure to follow is very simple. Just go to the site declare.ameli.fr and follow the various steps. Health Insurance will then carry out the usual checks before sending a confirmation email, which can be sent to the employer. He will act as proof until receipt of the certificate, available on his Ameli account.
How long to wait to obtain the isolation certificate?
The isolation certificate is available on your Ameli account after 7 days (or 12 days if you do not have an Ameli account), which must then be sent to your company or training organization.
Can I obtain a Covid isolation certificate differently?
For people who are not comfortable with digital tools, don’t panic. As since the beginning of the health crisis, even if most of the steps to be taken are on the internet, another more traditional option is possible. Indeed, the attending physician is also authorized to complete the document. It is therefore not necessary to have a computer, a tablet or a smartphone to apply for a certificate.
Isolation certificate: imperative for the employer
For people in professional activity, who find themselves unable to telecommute, it is therefore possible to request a work stoppage, without a waiting period. This allows the sick person or contact case to isolate themselves until the result of their Covid test is obtained. A work stoppage is established from the day of the declaration, before the performance of the diagnostic confirmation test.
Contact cases, regardless of their vaccination status, are no longer forced into a period of isolation. A certificate of isolation is therefore only provided to people who have contracted the virus. Persons in contact with their Covid-positive child, aged under 16, unable to telework, can request a stop at the Ameli site for the duration of their child’s isolation.
