Employee Pay While Waiting For a Covid Test Results

Hi

im new here and wondering if someone could help me. 

On Tuesday I was advised by the NHS 111 service to have a COVID -19 test which I did. I am aware I am not allowed to work while I wait for my results, which I still haven’t had. How do your wages work?  I can’t find any information?  My employer hasn’t let me work from home when I can work from home. So can I claim SSP for self isolation up until I receive my results because if they are negative I can return to work, so I can’t work out where I get my 4 days pay from?
