A member asked:

If i have to self-isolate, will i need to stay separate even from my housemates?

Yes: Self isolation is usually recommended for someone who has had exposure to COVID 19, a positive test, or symptoms. That person should be in a room by themselves with food brought to the doorway , careful sanitizing of anything touched, no shared utensils/cups/towels/etc, masks worn when others nearby
