There is only one report based on one case of a 70 year old man in Hubei province, based on contact testing, and did not rule out that he contacted it later.

And this would be a total reasonable defense if they quarantine any worker who has any contact with anyone who is infected for any amount of time for 27 days.
But that' isn't a policy the company follows. Also they let him work during the 2 weeks he was most likely to be contagious.

What do you think is more likely, that after more than 2 weeks of not giving a shit about quarantining an employee, suddenly Amazon was worried about a 0.01% outlier of 27 days before symptoms showed, or that this was a retaliatory action for the worker attempting to organize a strike.
I sure know what I'd be placing a large amount of money on if I was a betting man.

Tangent: would you make a bet on a question of fact where there is no authority you and your betting partner mutually trust to decide?
However, there are reports of cases with an incubation period of up to 27 days.
