Sickness bug - have I escaped it?

Slight emetophobe here, please don’t judge!

daughter had a sickness bug early hours Saturday morning and was last sick Saturday afternoon. It’s now Monday afternoon, does it seem likely that myself, partner and 7 month old have escaped it? What’s the incubation period/when can I feel that I am properly safe from it? I’ve bleached as much as possible and constantly washing my hands they’re so dry!

Fellow emmetophobe here.
Usually if you catch it when they are actively ill it's less than 48 hrs
Of course you can touch a surface and catch it from that
Keep hand washing and bleaching .
Keeping the everything cross e you all escape
