Does keeping one person isolated work?

DH tested positive on a LF on Wednesday am. He went to bed fairly early on Tuesday PM having felt ropey all evening. He slept in the spare room. All contact before then as normal.
Since Tuesday night he’s been effectively isolated. I’ve sent meals up to him and we have an en-suite bathroom. He’s popped down to get things while me and two DC have been out.

I have no symptoms and negative lft’s as of this evening. I’m double jabbed.

Do you think we can avoid it? I don’t want to be stressing for nothing and looking after the children all by myself when we could have been together (DH isnt very unwell and could watch TV with kids or read a story).

I will stick at the isolation though.
