Worried about giving birth

I'm currently 36 weeks pregnant and self isolating with my 2 year old as we both have a cough.
Dh works at a supermarket and doesn't have any symptoms.
I know they won't turn me away if I'm showing symptoms when I'm in labour but what if dh does?
If the peak is coming in a couple of weeks, there's a good chance that dh will catch it as he is around so many people all day.
There's no one else I would feel comfortable with having as my birth partner and I'm terrified of having to go through it alone and will be so sad for dh if he has to miss out on the birth.
I can't find anything online about whether or not birth partners with symptoms will be aloud.
What does everyone think is going to happen?

I think you will have to phone midwife tomorrow and ask the current plans for childbirth. Im positive he won’t be allowed in hospital ward with symptoms though, it could put other mums, babies and healthcare professionals at risk. It’s a horrible situation and I feel for you but you will get through it and most important thing is everyone staying as healthy as possible
