Self isolating & pay help please

I need some advice please
We are Wales if that makes any difference.
I have MS & asthma and work from home 3 days a week usually anyway.
Hubby works for a construction company (about 50 staff) has been with them 20 years.
He is fit and well, but due to my conditions he has self-isolated with me for the last week and will continue to do so
The construction company is very busy. Initially in the first 3 days hubby was left alone as he did some work from home.
The boss has now stated he doesn’t know how he is going to pay him, and no one else in the company is off or self isolating, as far as I’m aware they will continue to stay open and work until they “have” to close by government instruction.
I think I’ve read the boss can’t sack him for hubby’s actions? What are his pay options please? 
Thank you x
