5 year old has a cough

And is a little bit flushed...
I feel stupid but I’m asking if the advice to self isolate with a cough/temp applies to a 5 year old who is prone to these kinds of things as she has a weak chest?
Do I have to keep her home for a week, and therefore not be able to go to work myself?
