You have the right to stay home due to illness or injury for one week without a medical certificate.
If you are not well enough to work after a week, you need to contact your local health care center (vårdcentral) for a new assessment. This also applies if you need a certificate for the care of an ill child.
We at the local emergency wards cannot write medical certificates afterwards, nor can we extend certificates. If you need an extension of an existing medical certificate, you need to contact your local health care center (vårdcentral).
