This is one of the moments I hate from the old management and it's scary that it even happened.  Last year, during winter finals weeks, I got a double-teamed with viral pinkeye and bacterial strep throat.  I was very sick but one of my managers, Christmas, wasn't going to let me off working the third shift.  At this time time, only a manager and another employee would work closing shift.  If I was let off work, then the store would have to shutdown unless another manager filled my position, which would have been Christmas.  I was given steroid eye drops to reduce the swelling and tearing in my eye, and antibiotics for the strep–my dad is a doctor.  Christmas had a Google doctor moment, "You said you had eye drops, right?  You should be fine to work now.  It says you're no longer infectious after taking eyedrops online"  Well, that would be correct, except I had viral pinkeye, not bacterial pinkeye.  If it was bacterial, then antibiotic eyedrops would make me non-infectious after 24hrs.  However, viral pinkeye made me infectious as long as I was symptomatic, nor did I have a valid doctor's note as my dad treated me.  After multiple attempts to convey this information, I was basically told come to work or look for a new job.  I cleaned that night, I refused to handle any food and took a shit ton of precautions.  The manager on shift, Sahara, understood what was going on.  Needless to say, the manager who threatened me with employment termination no longer works there.
