hi everyone, my bf tested positive for covid this past sunday and i started feeling sick the following day but kept testing negative. my boss told me not to come in if i have any symptoms and cleared my schedule for the week.

then one of my coworkers tested positive.

we work in a small but extremely popular salon in our city and now my boss is texting me complaining that she's having a hard time rescheduling all the clients and wants me to come back to work on sunday.

i'd love to be able to go back but it's now thursday morning and my symptoms are continuing to worsen. i took a rapid test and it was a blaring positive. i think it's taken me several days to actually get sick which is why i'd been testing negative and i'm worried shit's about to hit the fan.

is there a best way for me to handle this situation as an employee? obviously i'm going to stay home but how can i field her complaints and pressure to return when things are only feeling worse?
