He shared an office with no windows and poor ventilation with a colleague and worked close by other employees who shared common areas “but did not regularly wear face masks over their mouth and nose,” according to the suit. After the exposure, he was allowed to work from home while quarantining for two weeks, “underscoring both the appropriateness of his continued requests to work remotely and Mr. Haywood’s ability to perform his job remotely,” according to the suit.On Dec. 17, three days after first falling ill, Haywood tested positive for the coronavirus, according to the suit. That day, contact tracers determined he’d been exposed to the coronavirus at his office. He was hospitalized on Christmas Day.
