So I've been at my retail job for 2 years, and since covid-19 hit back in March 2020, California has always been hit hard by this virus. The retail store I work at, did re-open in June 2020 and has been open since even now in 2021 January. Anyway with the virus raising more and more due to the holidays and people traveling, protesters, etc. My mom/dad both in their 60's and health conditions i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. and they insist that IF they caught this virus, they will die from it. And since I work in retail, and live with them, me bringing it home to them is a possibility. I NEVER want that to happen, hence why I want to take a Leave Of Absence, during these high times of covid-19 in Cali. But what do you think? Should I, I don't want too and get fired for this LOA.
