There is often no way to make sense of who gets Covid and who doesn’t get it following exposure. Your relatives should isolate for 14 days and get re-tested if they develop any symptoms at all. You should all get vaccinated as soon as possible for maximum protection. Continue social distancing, mask wearing, hand hygiene to stay safe. Good luck to all of you!

Hopefully the tests were valid. If so they have gone 10 days without symptoms and should be ok. Some people have natural immunity probably from other corona viruses they have been exposed to or infected by in the past.
