Managing Covid amongst family at home

Grateful for any advice people can give. I now have covid for the first time, tested positive 4 days ago. Have isolated as best I can at home but now my other family member has tested positive for first time too. So my precautions were a great failure! Anyway I can't find info on whether I can be re-infected from them, seeing as I am further along road to recovery. Will I have anti-bodies? Do we still have to keep away from each other, ventilate, clean touch points etc? House is small with one bathroom. I rang 119 and they gave the generic reply of keeping up the precautions. How do people manage at home when other family members catch it days later? Tx

You shouldn't catch it again after a such a short space of time your body will still be full of antibodies to mop up any re-infection you encounter. If there are only two of you there and you both now have it no point in keeping up any precautions.

Thanks for your quick reply. That's how I'm thinking as it seems to make sense but can't find guidance about it and 119 were not at all convincing in how they answered me.

119 give all different answers depending in who answers they don't seem to give official advice
