Can my employer make me stay home?

I was exposed to my son who was exposed to covid. It’s been a week since his exposure and he has no symptoms, neither do the rest of us who’ve been around him. My work is hinting at I should quarantine for 14 days because I was exposed to an exposed person who is just fine a week later. My son is autistic and putting him through a test is not ideal. Especially when he doesn’t have symptoms. 

Update:

The CDC protocol states it is not necessary to quarantine for exposure to an exposed person.

    if they find out you have it, and you pass it to others, they can be held responsible.  In that case, you would get fired and they can sue you for knowingly spreading the virus.  

    stay home.  it's people like you who would go back to work and not tell anyone is why it's spreading, then blaming Trump for your actions.

    you could take the test to reassure your workplace and fellow employees
