You’re right, and that’s IF you’re lucky enough to be granted sick leave. It’s not a legal requirement. I, for example, have none. When I’m sick I don’t get paid.
This is so outlandish to me. There are so many studies that show how bad this is, also on an economical level…
Meanwhile my colleagues can even call in sick when their kids are ill.
You actually don’t have any guaranteed sick leave. Some companies will give a few days to you for exclusive sick leave, some will require you to use your PTO, some (like my current) require a doctor’s note for any sick leave use, some don’t.
Now you start to understand how COVID spread so fast here.

Often times there’s no distinction between sick time and leave. So if you take a day off because your sick that’s one less day for a vacation.
Some jobs don’t even give you leave. You don’t work you don’t get paid.
