Staying home when unwell is the best means of preventing the spread of disease.
Japan is no workers paradise, and its health system is not as good as one might imagine. One of the reasons the Japanese wear masks is because there is no such thing as paid sick leave, and taking a day off work is frowned upon, annual leave is miserly (10 days), it increases if you remain with the same employer - hence the salaryman.
I've lived and worked there.
