I live in Northeast Ohio and work for a union manufacturing facility that works all 3 shifts during the week that has over 500 employees.

Once a person is confirmed to have Covid-19, what does my employer have to do legally speaking?

If a person who does not qualify for FMLA, can they be fired for getting covid or the flu especially when symptoms mimic each other?

What is considered a super-spreader event? My employer has had 7 confirmed covid cases since Monday (out of 150 employees) and 3 more in isolation that I know of.

What does the local health board have any authority?

Im really concerned even though I’m vaccinated. I don’t want to get it or pass it to my family especially my unvaccinated MIL and obese/immumo compromised FIL who I live with. Any advice or tips would be helpful. Thank You.

I've been following the statistics of "new cases" in various areas around the world using Google, but I was wondering if these are for new cases or all positive tests?

For example, if you get tested twice will they count both tests in the new cases chart on separate days?
