Tested positive for Covid and my boss is asking if I’ll be in to work two days later.

I live in NY. Started having a sore throat Friday night. Still had it Saturday but didn’t think much of it and went to work anyway. Felt like shit Sunday, tested positive for Covid for the first time ever. My boss had me stay home Monday but is asking if I think I’ll be in Tuesday so she can plan accordingly. Don’t I have to stay home for 5 days after the onset of symptoms? Meaning Wednesday would be day 5. Everyone else who got covid at my work stayed home for extended periods of time but she’s making it seem like if I feel better I can come in on day 4. I know I can just say that I don’t feel well enough to come in but it bothers me that she’s making it my call. I have only called in sick one other time in 9 years…
