Boss wants me to work while possibly having COVID

I'm on mobile and English is not my first language. So I (19f) work with horses with just a few other people working there, so when someone is sick or has a day off it's kind of hectic. Now two weeks ago my brother got COVID and I also had to stay home so I missed a day of work and not my stepdad had COVID and there is a big chance that I also have it.

I'm on mobile and English is not my first language.

So I (19f) work with horses with just a few other people working there, so when someone is sick or has a day off it's kind of hectic. Now two weeks ago my brother got COVID and I also had to stay home so I missed a day of work and not my stepdad had COVID and there is a big chance that I also have it.

Now I always show up for work, I work overtime when I have to and don't even get that paid. I don't complain a lot at work and do everything my boss asks of me.

Now since my stepdad has COVID I have to stay home for 5 days because that are the rules in my country on the fifth day I have to get tested and such.

Now I let my boss now right away that I couldn't come into work due to this. But this morning he called me and said that it was really hectic at work and wether I had COVID or not I have to come in the next work day.

If I have COVID I need to stay home for another 5 days. I'm getting tested today and will probably know the result this evening, but If I do have COVID I'm obviously not allowed to go to work and I'm not a person that likes confrontation. My parents say that I should just say that I'm not allowed to go and should stand my ground but I'm not very good at it and I'm not looking for to getting the results and a possible confrontation.
