Since the beginning if you tested positive, you used all cto, pto, or vacation time, until you exhausted your bank.
After bank is gone you are then on a unpaid leave. Responsible for paying your own healthcare. While working that cost is around $300 to $500 per month. Unpaid leave your healthcare is $1200 to $2800 per month.

It's different where my wife works. She literally sneezed once at work and they administered a Covid test and sent her home. That was on the first day of her 4 day week. On the fourth day she got her results back and was cleared for work. She received "Pandemic Pay" for the days she missed. I'm not positive but I think the state is funding at least a portion of it. They've also gone to testing front line staff weekly. So far she's 0-4..
Staff that tests positive are also getting pandemic pay.
