Today, I took a day off and I'll explain the reason why.

I attended a drinking party with my colleagues last Friday, but one of them informed us that they had been infected with COVID-19 on Sunday.

...This morning, my throat was irritated and I had bad diarrhea.

So, I called our supervisor to inform them that I might have been infected with COVID-19, and I went to the hospital to get tested for it and influenza.

I was afraid of spreading the infection to others...!

Fortunately, the test results showed that both were negative.

I tried to go to work in the afternoon, but the supervisor told me I had to take the day off due to company rules.

I don't think my decision was wrong, but I'm worried about catching up on today's work.
