Meet a mom who got COVID-19 while pregnant and used paid leave when her kid had to quarantine 3 times
She returned to work from parental leave after having her first son on March 27, right when her home state of Minnesota — and much of the rest of the country — shut down in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
Since then, Meyers has been on alert any time her son is ill, wondering if he has COVID-19 and trying to get him tested. She said the past three months had been the hardest since the onset of the pandemic — their daycare switched to a part-time schedule because of staffing shortages, and they've had three 10-day quarantines since the first week of November. During a fourth quarantine, the whole family had COVID-19.
She'd been planning to use additional paid time off around her parental leave. But she said it"gets complicated when you're also trying to use your time off to support your kids" as they're home for quarantines.
