WWYD - dd self isolating, employer wants me to get Covid test (no symptoms)

My dd is in 6th form. The boy she sits next to in one of her subjects has tested positive for Covid. She's at home self isolating, no symptoms.

I work in a very small business which would be devastated at this time of year (busy retail) if the staff were to get Covid. Obvs my boss doesn't want to risk me passing it on to anyone if I am infected but he REALLY needs me at work. At the moment he has asked me to stay at home. I've asked if I could return if I had a Covid test and he thought yes.

I have no symptoms so theoretically shouldn't be getting a test but I really do want to be at work (pay is not the issue, more not letting colleagues down).

WWYD?

[quote Toastina]@RaRaRasputinHardBastardToKill as a decent human being you need to isolate.[/quote]
It's like watching people spending hours trying to fit round holes into square pegs!

Hope all goes well for you both.

You are not required to isolate or take a test. Tell your boss that if he wants you to do either he'll need to cover your wages and / or pay for private test.
