Can work force me to call in sick?

So I was off my usual two days and during that I got sick. I felt fine enough to work after the two days off though so I went in. My job just stated that anyone who has been sick has to take 5 days off from when symptoms started. Problem is I live in Ontario and I don't get paid sick days. I can't afford to take 5 days off work sick. They aren't paying for it either. Can they just force you to take unpaid time off? Ita not covid so I can't get paid out for that it's just a common flu. I'm just wondering if they can actually force you to do that or if it's just their say so. Haven't been able to find anything online.
