When someone has caught a disease, he/she should not visit the office even once. It is better to stay in isolation. Some employees apply for sick leave when it is brought to their knowledge that they are diagnosed positive. But, sometimes the company cannot afford to give sick leave and therefore wants to hire an immediate replacement. In this situation, the employee himself decides or the company asks him to write a resignation letter that will be effective immediately.
