Forced Working?

My girlfriend works in a nursing home, specifically in a dementia/Alzheimer’s unit. She’s also finishing school to be a RN. We both tested positive for covid last week and retested ourselves yesterday, still positive and showing symptoms. This is the response she gets after a week off. Expectations to come into work sick, to be isolated with the sick. Also can’t use her sick time she’s accrued (100+ hours). Somehow it’s her problem they can’t hire enough people or retain them. She did quit and basically went down the street to a different assisted living facility and got better pay. Old employer never responded and had a new schedule out with her name gone within a half hour.
