“Excused” Absence or PTO

My workplace recently had someone pass from Covid. Now they are testing people and there are many coming up positive. Work is giving us the “choice” for those who test positive to either take unpaid excused time off or to take PTO out if you would like to be paid. Is there any alternative to talk using PTO to be paid or do I have any other legs to stand on? We don’t have a sick time bank, we only have PTO. I work in Arizona if that matters.
