43It cannot therefore be found that the purpose of quarantine is, as a matter of principle, comparable to that of sick leave, within the meaning of the case-law referred to in paragraph 31 above. Accordingly, a period of quarantine cannot, in itself, present an obstacle to the attainment of the purpose of paid annual leave, which is intended to enable workers to rest from carrying out the work they are required to do under their contract of employment and to enjoy a period of relaxation and leisure (see, to that effect, judgment of 6 November 2018, Bauer and Willmeroth, C‑569/16 and C‑570/16, EU:C:2018:871, paragraph 41 and the case-law cited).
