Brief Answer:
You don't risk others from going to work.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I don't think a doctor's can stop you or can force you not to go to work.
A doctor can recommend you or advice you not going to work but if you can't follow his advice you can go.
You are not harming the others and you don't risk others from going to work.
You just risk your health.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further
