Entitlement to statutory sickpay has been extended, under The Statutory Sick Pay (General) (Coronavirus Amendment) (No. 4) Regulations 2020, to people who have been told to isolate under the new 'Test and Trace' system, which starts in England today. Other parts of Great Britain have similar, but not identical, Test and Trace systems.
Accordingly a person who has been notified that they have had contact with a person with coronavirus, and who is self-isolating for 14 days as a result, will be entitled to statutory sickpay.
