How effective in self isolation in your home?

DH has tested positive for COVID and the rest of us are negative on lateral flows but waiting for PCR results. dcs have already had it so unlikely to get it again but I am probably likely to get it. Very surprised we didn't get it when the dcs did and DH got it two weeks later.

Anyway, DH is currently self isolating in our loft room since yesterday and we have had no contact. But I have a very important funeral to go to next week and don't want to risk catching it. How likely am I to catch it from him (if I haven't already) or should I go and stay at my parents house to be safe? It makes taking the dcs to school next week tricky as they live 45/60 mins away but I don't want to risk missing the wedding.

Am I right in thinking the funeral is 5 days time from DH testing? Probably not a good idea.

DS caught it, he was doing LFTs every day, so picked it up straight away and isolated in his room.

DH is on chemo so CEV. As a contact he had to test negative on LFT for 10 days straight to be able to have his next round on the 11th day. None of us caught it, but all jabbed too,

Would be impossible in our flat. The social housing model deems that you dont need much room at all if you dont procreate!!
Plus the fact that many on here have deemed social housing tenants as entitled if they dare to point out the lack of room means the UK simply reaps what it sows.
