WIBU for DH to stay off work tomorrow?

I've just been signed off work for the foreseeable as I'm a high risk pregnancy, although only 9 weeks, and so have been advised to be at home amidst all the chaos.

Since 10pm I have had severe sickness and diarrhoea. I suspect it is a stomach bug, rather than pregnancy related. I feel horrendous.

Tomorrow I'm meant to be at home with DD 2.5yrs as she is now off nursery with me. If I am still unwell in the morning WIBU for DH to stay off? I can't see how I'll manage on my own, I can barely lift my head off the pillow as it is now.

We were obviously hoping he could ride out work as normal unless of course any of us displayed CV symptoms but I feel so anxious about the morning I could cry.

Is there any way that he could work from home? He could in theory claim isolation, or indeed request emergency leave, but if he can work remotely it may be preferable especially since everything's so up in the air at the moment.
