I hate to ask about this scenario, as I really ought to know, but I have trawled through several info sheets online and I must be looking in the wrong place because I can't find the answer...

I sent mindee home today with a cough. Mum managed to get him tested for covid this evening. She wont get the results for 72 hours.

He went to dr first and he thinks it is a chest infection but obviously told to have a test just in case. He is staying off for the rest of the week.

Soooo, my question is - do me and my family need to self isolate? Or are we ok until we get his results back (obviously we are praying that they are negative)? None of us (or mindee's parents) have any symptoms.
