I work in long-term care, have throughout the pandemic. I’ve been in multiple facilities over the years and this seems to be an issue across the board so I was wondering if any other industries are pulling this as well. Though you’re encouraged to “tough it out” and show up anyway, OFFICIALLY if you have any cold/flu/covid symptoms you are supposed to immediately stay home from work pending a negative COVID test. When you get the negative you may return to work. I’ve found that for myself & coworkers, whenever we’re sick with absolutely anything that’s not COVID, we are expected to be at work. There’s very much an attitude of “oh your test came back negative, it’s not COVID, you need to come in.” And when you try telling them that no, it’s not COVID but you definitely are sick, coughing, vomiting, in the bathroom constantly etc, you get a “well it’s not COVID so you need to come in”
