I’m really frustrated and upset and I either just want to vent or I want advice. My partner has tested positive for COVID and he has symptoms. I’ve been sharing a room/bathroom with him for 2 days now and taking care of him. I told my manager and I was simply told that I need to keep showing up for work and wear a mask. I was confused- he sent me the email he received saying if an employee was exposed they need to mask up. But I’m not just exposed once- I’m literally around him 24/7. I haven’t tested positive yet but I know it’s coming. I have been confined to a room with him for 2 days!
I was told I needed to find a cover for my shift tomorrow or I need to come in with a mask. But I can’t imagine coming in after literally being exposed to COVID for 2 days straight. This just feels so scummy and I know no one will be able to cover me and I don’t want to resign with no notice but I’m at a loss. Any thoughts?
