I live at home my father has Covid?

I am a medical professional. You should check your state guidelines; however recommendations are if you are fully vaccinated you can go out in public. If you are unvaccinated you are supposed to isolate 5 days, and the CDC recommends that you wear a mask at home around people with covid. Frankly, if you're vaccinated and don't want to get covid you should stay away from your father either way. In reality, people are not really isolating from teh general public if they have a contact unless they care a lot. Remember there are oodles and oodles of breakthrough infections with omicron; so use that to guide your decision making.

First, your statement is not a question. A common theme on gaf that makes me want to punch puppies.

Second, why of all the fucking places would you ask a FUCKING GAMING FORUM!!! (My Sam Kinison voice)

Christ you have to be a millenial.

Does your work have any guidelines for this?

Where I live in this situation we would be able to work legally, but at our office if someone in your house has Covid we ask that you stay home/work from home.

We had a situation earlier this year where 8 out of the 20 people in our office had covid at the same time that was a nightmare.

Thats pretty rude. We are in a discussion forum in off topic. Tons of various discussions here. I dont think anyone is holding themselves out as a medical expert but helpful discussion is welcomee

rules are different depending on where you are. i don't know where you live. you'd be quicker searching online.

even if you don't have symptoms you should isolate if you can but some places might still require you to go to work. you should know your work rules. just be cautious and again i highly recommend familiarising yourself with your local/work guidelines.
