    Just wondering if anyone can advise.
    Refered for covid test last Thursday and it came back negative sat night however I still have symptoms and did not go to school today and will not go tomorrow.
    Am I right in thinking, from reading ALL the documents online that I cannot go back to work until 48 hours free from symptoms and I am covered by covid leave for this not regular sick leave?

    My understanding is that once you have a negative test you revert to sick leave if you continue to be symptomatic.

    Yup same understanding too. It’s not covid so it’s normal sick leave now
