That would be tyranny and be exactly what I feared. That would mean anyone with allergies, a bad nights sleep, a headache caused by many other things etc is classed a persona non grata and denied travel and entry in to their place of work, pubs etc.

Coming in with any COVID symptoms will get you sent home and do that a few times and you’ll attract a disciplinary.

The entire point of my comment was about expanding the definition to mild and non contagious things like a headache and tiredness > They're still the main thing. Except for airlines and a lot of companies. Are you being obtuse on purpose?
