My concern is that with him being contagious, by allowing him to come in while being signed off, it's put the rest of us at risk.
Found this:
So if someone were to catch it off him and sue the company, they wouldn't be covered by their insurance. Oh dear.

You just beat me to it , but it is to do with the insurance. When I worked for the civil service years ago, I had an operation on my knee and was signed off for a few weeks - when I asked work if I could come in (as I had a desk job), they told me that I wouldn't be covered by their insurance as a sick note basically says that you're not fit for work. If your colleague desperately wanted to come to work, he would have to go back to his doctor and sign off the sick.
