Just cross out Chinese and put another country in that sentence.

All over the world people, working in hospitals, pharmacies, care taking facilities have had to work with covid as long as they were without any symptoms.

And all they got is applause. Hah!

Not while infected? Or actually i guess if you are infected you can work with infected patients

In Germany they could get told to work as long as they don't have any symptoms (like a silent infection). As soon as they have symptoms they would have to go into isolation.

This was the rule of thumb during the big rises of covid and the big lockdowns.

During that time I worked in a pharmacy and we were allowed by law to work with an infection. Can't tell you though if anyone did.

Answered before your edit. But I totally get it that it sounds a bit weird because you would think: who's ill should stay at home.

I'm a junior doctor and I have to work even tho I was infected in middle-2021.

I didn't have a fever but a pretty bad case of pharyngitis.
