My husband made me take a Covid test yesterday because I started getting sick on Saturday and he wanted us to get tested before Thanksgiving.

Well guess what? IT WAS POSITIVE 😱😱😱

I’m in complete shock. I wasn’t expecting it at all. My symptoms include sore throat, headache, loss of taste and smell, and my temp has been hovering around 99. I have a minor cough and mild runny nose but nothing serious. I’ve been taking Tylenol. I’ve had the flu and sinus infections way worse than this. I honestly thought I just had a cold.

So now I have to pull both kids out of school, cancel our Thanksgiving dinner and stay home for 2 weeks 😩 I work from home but I can’t do that with both kids home full time so I’ll have to talk to my boss tomorrow to see what we should do. I already took yesterday off but I worked today.

My husband is still waiting on his test results. He has no symptoms though.

Please no negative comments.

I’m sorry! Hopefully it will just remain minor for you and that the rest of your family stays healthy. Depending on how big your employer is, there is a federal leave available through the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act that allows you up to 10 days of paid sick leave. It wouldn’t pull from your accumulated sick leave. I would talk to HR about it. I’ll see if I can find a link.

Ok thank you! My sister said the same thing, to ask about emergency sick leave. I’ll definitely ask tomorrow. That would be great if I could still get paid so I can focus on my family and not stress about income.
