A coworker was out 2 weeks in what was said to be self quarantine, we now know he was positive for covid 19 and our employer has yet to say anything .wtf

I don't see how an employer can do the right thing on this. On one hand you want to make the other employees aware so that they may take extra precautions if desired. On the other hand, you've got hippa and confidentiality issues. Technically as the boss, I am supposed to remain unaware of any health issues or concerns but we're a very small company so that rarely happens. It's a tough one but I would definitely lean towards informing the other employees. I guess I would seek permission to share from the infected person.

@JJ Husker in a hypothetical situation, a small company might know who was infected if they disappeared for two weeks, but could you say something like 'a colleague tested positive for coronavirus' and leave it at that?
I don't know the ins and outs of HIPPA but I would think/hope there's some clause in there about infectious diseases/viruses.
