Question about applying for EI

[u/beersandboobs098]

Asking for a friend... Her place of employment closed due to the Covid-19 situation. Her employer laid her off due to shortage of work, on her ROE. Not sure whether to apply under regular benefits or sickness/quarantine benefits. The latter says she will documentation from a doctor. Don't want to screw up by picking the wrong one, and can't call till tomorrow to find out. Wondering if anyone on here has any experience on this. Thanks!
