Self-isolate!: Your coworker should be self-isolating at home. If s/he insists on coming to work, make sure his or her supervisor is aware and takes steps to protect others, perhaps not permitting him/her to remain at the workplace. If and when there, s/he must never be without a mask. No shared small rooms with other persons. Of course masks, distancing, and frequent hand washing for you and other coworkers.
