True self isolation is alone.
60 people in a group can’t “self” isolate. It’s a contradiction in terms, and a scenario for which 14 days doesn’t apply. The fact they avoided the general public doesn’t discount spread amongst themselves.
One false negative test (or test prior to having the virus to the extent you would test positive) and you’ve got the virus in the bubble. Symptomatic or not, that person could conceivably not pass the virus immediately causing a delay. Especially if physical distancing and other measures maintained had strong adherence at first. After 3-4 weeks the second or third infected person could get the ball rolling as the crew become complacent. By week 7 you get the inevitable.
This is part of the reason why football teams and other “bubbles” were tested frequently before training resumed and a ball was kicked. The other obviously being that they could abscond and the virus enter that way.
