I came across a lemonaid health ad for reflux and thought about checking to see if HeyDoctor had the diagnosis for a better price and then i see this Covid19 screening thing for free. I figure, why not? I was a little sick a month ago with my daughter (she had a little cough for what seemed weeks). I live in Miami Beach, for context. Anyway, we got better but i wanted to see what this would come up with.
The doctor said i might have been exposed and recommended a 14 day quarantine. I asked if this qualified me for the emergency paid sick leave passed in this recent bill. The language says
DIVISION E--EMERGENCY PAID SICK LEAVE ACT
Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act
(Sec. 5102) This section requires employers to provide paid sick time to employees who are unable to work due to the effects of COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019). Specifically, full-time employees are entitled to 80 hours of paid sick time, which is available immediately, for use if the employee
is subject to a governmental quarantine or isolation order,
has been advised by a health-care provider to self-quarantine,
is caring for an individual who is subject to governmental or self-quarantine,
is caring for the employee's child because the child's school or child-care provider is closed, or
is experiencing a substantially similar circumstance related to COVID-19 as specified by the Department of Health and Human Services, in consultation with the Department of Labor.
Paid sick time under this section may be used before other paid leave that may be available to an employee. Part-time employees are entitled to such paid sick time for the average number of hours the part-time employee works during an average two-week period. Paid sick time under this section may not carry over from one year to the next.

So
Does this qualify me to take time off? As i understand it, it won't take effect for another week, from other language in the bill, which is honestly a giant load of shit, but whatever, I'm just here to see if Hey Doctor qualifies as a health care provider
