What might also be happening is that people are forced to call sick due to being tested positive or a close contact of one, even though they aren't actually feeling sick.
We're seeing this here in Spain a lot now. A bit higher up in this thread someone mentioned not cancelling a birthday because all the guests had COVID anyway. But work environments are more strict.
I have a feeling this is what they meant by stating it that way, not implying that the workers aren't actually sick. A case of COVID is easily verified anyway.

- nradov 5y agoThere is a difference between testing positive for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 genetic material versus having the clinical disease COVID-19. The tests can report false positives, especially among convalescent patients. Many infections are asymptomatic so the patient is literally not "sick" (although they should generally not come into a workplace to avoid infecting others).
