My supervisor demanded that I go work in another building where there is supposedly a virus only affecting women. I asked her for the name of the virus. She said she doesn’t know. I continued to explain that if she doesn’t know the name or anything about the virus , how do you know it won’t affect me? I can’t take your word on this subject you are not a health professional you are a supervisor. I told her I have the right to refuse unsafe work and I will not do it. She told me pack my things and go home then.

You are correct that you dont have to accept unsafe work conditions. It also sounds like you have been terminated and would therefore be entitled to a severance package.
