Unpaid covid-19 leave (Walmart) KY

I have had a very high fever and am getting tested for covid-19 this afternoon. I’m having extreme coughing, can hardly stand much and have fatigue. My roommate also went through this two days before I got sick. I’ve had covid in the past and I know what it’s like and this is exactly like the last time I had it. But I was just informed by another co-worker covid-19 leave is no longer paid, I will work until my result comes back (in +/- 3 days) and no matter what the result, I really I cannot take a week or two off work because I need the money. I feel like this forces me to come in even if I do test positive for covid-19. How is this even legal for them not to pay you? If anyone can please advise on what I can do.
