What do I do if my leadership is trying to pull me out of quarantine?

So basically I was exposed to someone with COVID along with my wife and other friends which we ended up having symptoms towards the end of the week. My friend and I’s leadership had us standing outside the company then made us go to sick call and my 1SG basically said that if we don’t have a fever then we’re good enough to go to the field and said we didn’t need a testing. My wife ended on quarantine because she ended up puking and taking the test. My 1SG didn’t let me leave because he said it’s not his soldier so it didn’t matter even though the paper my wife got from the doctor specifically said that her dependents should be on quarantine as well, he finally let me leave after he called someone on the phone and only let me be on quarantine for 24 hours. My symptoms got worse when I got home so the next day I went to sick call to get a referral for a covid testing, I got it done and was put in quarantine and the nurse specifically said that regardless of what happens with my results I will stay on quarantine. Later on the day, my leadership is calling me saying that I’m RTD and that they’re gonna find a ride for me even though I explained that I’m on quarantine and I can’t leave. They said it’s 1SG orders and they’re gonna find me a ride, I called the army public health center and they said that if I leave then I’m breaking general’s order and so is my leadership. I’m so conflicted, I have another friend who’s on quarantine for the same reason and they haven’t bothered him one bit. What do I do? They’ve been harassing me about this situation

You need to follow your physician orders and Post quarantine policy. If your Chain of Command does not support you after showing them supporting documents, call your Installation IG.

Ultimately it all depends on the post policy about covid exposure, positive tests and quarantine. If your post's policy from your CG states that if one tests positive they have to quarantine, then that's the order you follow. Your 1SG nor anyone in your chain can break the CG's order.
I'd go find the base policy on covid-19 because that's going to list what the CG has ordered.
I think your chain of command needs to review the base policy for when soldiers get put in quarantine. If this was me, I'd be going to my CO if the 1SG was trying to make me break a CG order and then keep going to whomever would listen.

Whatever you have get it in writing as well as any orders from higher directing soldiers who have been placed in medial quarantine by a doctor due to COVID.

I have the dd down 689 that states that I’m on quarantine which I sent to my TL and SL, and they completely disregarded it

Not only get it in writing but have at least 3 to 5 copies, never ever give up the original.
