Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Workers around the world are being impacted by the coronavirus, and many are choosing — or are required — to work from home as governments take drastic steps to curb the pandemic. However, not all workers have been given this privilege, or simply cannot do their jobs remotely, and now are left wondering if they have to prioritize a paycheck over their health. One concern holding workers back from staying home is the fear that they could be fired if they don’t physically show up at work. While new legislation expands the number of workers who are guaranteed paid time off while confronting coronavirus, workers are not guaranteed the right to work from home — even if public health officials recommend it. And for workers with jobs deemed essential and who have no access to paid leave, including many grocery store workers, staying home can put them in danger of being fired.
