Isolation : The best thing is for you to self-isolate from each other and other people if you were exposed to someone under consideration for COVID 19. The possibility is that your workers is infected, and the isolation was not needed. The risks of easy spread are too great in my opinion to take. Keep isolated

Yes: At least using policies we use in the US - would recommend that you self-isolate until she gets a negative test result or until 14 days is up.
