Certificates for care leave

If you have mild smptoms of respiratory disease:

• wash your hands carefully;
• if possible, stay home until you have recovered;
• monitor your health;
• do not got to the emergency room.

If you get symptoms indicating to the coronavirus (cough, fever, difficulty in breathing etc.):

• consult your family doctor by phone or call the family doctor helpline 1220. Before calling your family doctor, check her working hours and try to find patience. The phone lines might be busier than usual as there are many patients -- in addition to the coronavirus, there are seasonal viruses going around as well.
• if your condition is serious (e.g. difficulties in breathing) call an ambulance by calling 112.

During the emergency situation, people were given the opportunity to use the patient portal digilugu.ee to apply for a certificate for sick leave or care leave to be opened. After the end of the emergency situation, i.e. May 18, a certificate for sick leave can be opened only by going to a doctor i.e. if you get sick or start to care for a sick family member, you need to contact your family doctor in order to receive a certificate for sick leave or care leave.
