What if I get called in for work tomorrow while I wait for the Covid 19 test results? What do I say?

I don’t wanna risk anyone getting harmed because I might have it. I don’t want to be selfish and I’m not a selfish person.

I am feeling a lot better than the last couple of days. I did tell my boss that I took the test on Friday and I get my Covid 19 test results from 2-5 days but on the paper I was told I would have to self quarantine until I get the results. I did that for three days. If I feel better tomorrow, should I go to work while I wait for my results. My dad said I should stay home but call my boss tomorrow morning but take care of myself be I would be putting everyone at risk. I work at a pet store.

I interpret that to mean that you must tell work that, even though you want to take a shift, you can't get out of self quarantine until you get a negative result. It's a dept of health rule; most businesses understand that.

@ElwoodBlues Even if I feel better? He might ask me that and I got to be honest with him. He should be able to understand that am in self quarantine when I can’t come in to work.

@LaylaTheTallGirl Yes, even if you feel better, the health dept rules have no flexible. Feelings are subjective; test results much less so.
