Steve Baragona

   WATCH: As the coronavirus spreads around the world, health officials
   are urging people not to go to work if they are sick. But for many U.S.
   workers, staying home means they will not get paid, and that's a luxury

   have to work while sick.

   VOA's Steve Baragona takes a look at the issue of paid sick leave.
