worked with coworker who had Covid and nobody told me

Timeline: Thursday coworker took a covid test and it came back negative. Friday I worked with coworker and he was very sick. Saturday my day off and he tested positive. Sunday I work and find out from other coworker that he has Covid. I texted my boss asking why I wasn't informed that he had covid and got no response. I worked with him the whole shift and we are friends so I hung around him the whole shift. I texted him and he said “sorry I didn't tell you.” I talked to the rest of my coworkers (people who didn't work with him) and it seems like EVERYONE knew he had covid before me. Now I have to stay home from college, get a covid test, and stay away from my parents who are immune compromised. Is this ok? I live in southern California, does my manager have to…

Sunday I work and find out from other coworker that he has Covid.

I texted my boss asking why I wasn't informed that he had covid and got no response. I worked with him the whole shift and we are friends so I hung around him the whole shift. I texted him and he said “sorry I didn't tell you.” I talked to the rest of my coworkers (people who didn't work with him) and it seems like EVERYONE knew he had covid before me.

Now I have to stay home from college, get a covid test, and stay away from my parents who are immune compromised. Is this ok? I live in southern California, does my manager have to tell me about possible exposures?

(I'm planning on quitting after this semester is over so I can't just quit right now)
