The single mother of one has had to choose between taking a sick day and leaving herself out of pocket or facing the anger of her colleagues for coming in with the virus. She explained that she doesn't get sick pay as she is contracted through an agency and does not meet the qualifying conditions, and cannot work from home. After feeling ill over the weekend and having Covid symptoms, Emma went to work despite not wanting to get anyone else sick. She ended up having to take a Covid test which returned positive, and was then told to stay home until she was better, leaving her without pay. Emma lamented how the crisis has taken away the joy of parenting, as she wants to be able to treat her seven-year-old son.
