The virus can be treated as soon as possible. In this situation, if it is a small business, and he does not have any subordinates, it is morelikely to close for sometime for the owner to recover. If it is major company, there is a board that can handle the situation. The owner can still run the business after being disinfected by the virus that he caught.
