Not Going Into New Job Due to Being Sick-Will I Get Fired?

Hey everyone, I recently started working as an usher at a local theater and I have only worked one shift so far, which went well. I was scheduled to go to work today but I woke up this morning feeling sick (sore throat, cough, congestion) so going into work feels irresponsible even though all employees are masked. However, at this company you can’t just call out unless you have someone else to cover your shift, which I wasn’t able to get in time. (Is this policy even legal?) I am so anxious that I will get fired and it’s difficult for me to get jobs due to my disability. Am I in the wrong here? Should I worry about being fired? What should I do?
