And you would be wrong, WA passed a law early in 2020 that said front line and healthcare workers were presumed to have caught covid at work unless there was a preponderance of evidence against it, the state has been allowing claims any time a healthcare worker was directed to quarantine by their employer. Hence said employer not wanting to direct workers to quarantine anymore.

Edit: WA is a very worker friendly jurisdiction and I'm certain that other states have made things hell for sick healthcare workers
