Illness for 3 weeks

I'm in the 3rd week of what I originally assumed was just a different virus. I had a temp for 2 days at the beginning, sore chest, bit of a cough and a runny nose. Slightly different to the coronavirus symptoms.
I felt really quite bad and stayed in bed/ at home for nearly 2 weeks. I was just starting to feel better and then today my cough seems a lot worse. No temp though.
My ds and husband have been going to school and work as normal but from tomorrow we will be self isolating for 14 days.

I feel that it's unlikely I've got the virus but I guess if they are not willing to test we have no choice. My DS and dh are fine, no symptoms except ds(5) has a bit of a runny nose that he's had since Jan!

Are we doing the right thing?

I guess I just feel bad for keeping ds off school if it's unnecessary.
