Sickness self-cert temporarily extended to 28 days

[hegley]

Couldn't find anything else on this here, and seems to be under a lot of radars but between December 17th and January 26th self-certification for sickness has been extended from 7 days to 28 days, to allow GPs to focus on the booster rollout. Might be useful for anyone that has the shitty triple whammy of illness, a rubbish boss and a surgery they can't get through to.

Excellent news

Hopefully permanent
