Re: Covid Isolation Duration to Prevent New Surge

Let me ask you a question

I counted a few.

if someone only has a 7 day vacation, how will he be able to quarantine for 14 days,

I think the realization is finally setting in that nobody wants a worker who can spread Covid to his co-workers, customers and bosses. The co-workers don't want to work in a place that does not take serious steps to prevent Covid's spread. It's one reason for the great resignation.

Many businesses are closing because of Omicron without a mandate from the government. The question of a 7 day vacation (and no sick leave?) is academic. Businesses don't want workers who can spread Covid.

Of course NYCT is an exception and the CDC is acquiescing to the mistaken notion that a little bit of Covid can be contained.

how will he be able to quarantine for 14 days, and how would he be able to compensate for the hotel and other accommodations?

That's simple. The government pays for it. It costs them a lot less to put someone up in a hotel for two weeks than maintain them in a hospital or ICU for a few days.

Even NYC pays for hotel accommodations for people who must isolate but don't have a home support system.

Can he call his boss and tell him of the situation?

They are not being put up on Rikers. The hotels have phones, tv, high speed internet, and all the luxuries of a good hotel in the room. I'm sure they will supply a laptop for a guest to continue work via Zoom.
