EU pushes for 'right to disconnect' from work at home

Or simply add some flexibility. The rules are similar in Sweden, with the caveat that if an employer suspects that an employee actually is not sick they can demand a doctor's note which the employer then pays for.

If the note shows that the employee cheated you get a warning. If the action is repeated then a doctor's note can be required from day one.

Start with good faith, but add some flexibility.

One weird thing here in Sweden, is that you can take sick leave from your vacation. So if you get the flu during your vacation you can call in sick and not use your vacation days while you are sick. I have never heard of anyone doing this though and I would personally be too embarrassed to use the system in that way.

It's the same in the Netherlands.
