Is it a country on the quarantine list?

We had the space that our visitors had their own bathroom and we put a mini kitchen in an alcove (kettle, toaster, microwave) so they could properly self isolate. Otherwise I think you would be cleaning and wearing masks all the time!

There's advice on gov.uk on how to self isolate from other people in the same dwelling.

Obviously how easy this is depends on how big your house is and how many bathrooms. You can only do your best with what's available and limit close contact and touching of the same items to reduce the risk.

My nephew came home from uni with it (very mild symptoms) in March. He stayed in his room, they left his meals outside his bedroom door and only he used the family bathroom. No one else in the house picked it up.
