According to the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), which became effective on April 1st, employees who work for employers of less than 500 employees can take up to 80 hours of emergency sick leave. These two weeks (up to 80 hours) of paid sick leave are at the employee’s regular rate of pay because the employee is unable to work due to being quarantined and/or experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and seeking a medical diagnosis.

If that doesn’t get an affirmative response, she should reach out to a local pro bono employment law group. They’ll fire a letter over on her behalf.
Make sure she adds a read and delivery receipt. Even if they dont send it affirmatively back, at least the delivery one should help.
