Any need to clean devices only touched by DS during self isolation?

I thought there was a need to keep cleaning surfaces, but I can’t actually think of an explanation, which is being demanded by DS of course! Something to do with viral load maybe? We’ve all been self isolating for 9 days. I suppose there’s a slight risk from anything entering the house, ie shopping (delivered) and post, which I have tried to clean, but if I touched an infected surface, then he touched it? But if he then transported it to his device, it would have been on his hand anyway.... This is all quite confusing!

We think we’ve both got it mildly anyway. His sister hasn’t had any symptoms.

Thank you

If its 7 days since symptoms started and you feel ok and no longer have a temperature then you can end your self isolation. The rest of the household isolates for 14 days as that's the incubation period. If they show symptoms in that 14 day period then they self isolate for 7 more days

Thanks, yes, I get that bit.

Any of you clever people who were on that viral load thread a week ago out there?
