Positive COVID test

So my sisters bil and family have all been tested positive for covid, they live in a flat, they are now isolating. All of them have fever, loss of taste smell, body aches and a cough

They needed some essentials, so his db took them over, bil then came out of his flat, down from the 5th floor, to the communal door to take the shopping in.
Aibu in thinking he shouldn't have came out of his flat at all?? Surely that's what isolation would
Mean not coming out of ones home. Isn't that how it spreads. No doubt he would've touched things along the way, no mask worn, how is that fair on the people that live in that building.
His db didn't want to go inside the building and drop it off at the door as he fears many people living there could be carrying all sorts and so didn't want to risk going inside as he has family of his own and left it outside the building.
And now that I think of it, I reckon a lot of people who live in flats (not ALL) must do this and no wonder we are unable to contain the virus.

You don't tell a neighbour! You obviously ask nicely!! Are some of you really that silly?? Don't take things so literally

If you write something like "tell your neighbour to do something" people will believe you mean what you say. You don't get to tell them off for failing to realise you didn't mean what you wrote.
