Absolutely.
Healthcare workers are catching the Wuhan flu PPE or not and many are asymptomatics so it's totally logical to have them self quarantine and avoid contact with anyone outside the health care setting

Society will have to make a choice between safety and economics. You can't have both.
These healthcare workers going back to their families and communities is a risk vector due to the high exposure on the job. Are you suggesting we accept the risk of infecting everyone so they can live comfortably ?
