We are a small business with 7 employees total, including myself.
When the first round of corona hit we paid for people to quarantine - sit at home because they might have been in contact with a positive corona case.
One employee had to be tested 5 times, missing work, and eventually was positive and we paid her.
Fast forward several months and she's telling us that her daughter (6 years old) might be positive (we'll know tomorrow) and she'll have to stay at home with her 14 days.
I know we aren't obligated to pay her. But corona is here and in a lot of cases you can't help it if you get it.
Would you pay her for another 14 days?
