Any transmission won't be automatic or instantaneous. It could be transferred from A to B, towards the end of the infectious phase of A, and the similarly for from B to C. You can't be sure that the household is completely clear until after 10 days of the last person to have a positive test/show symptoms. Before that time, a yet non-infected person could suddenly become infected.

From the NHS website I presume
The email sent by the junior manager says:
How Long you Need to Self- Isolate
If someone you live with has tested positive and:
They have symptoms- self isolate for 10 days from when their symptoms start
They have not had symptoms- self isolate for ten days from when they had their test
If they get symptoms while they're self- isolating the 10 days restarts from when their symptoms started
The 10 days does not restart if a different person you live with gets symptoms while you're self-isolating
No link in email annoyingly
