Self-isolation is all a bit weird. The person self-isolating still uses the same facilities and breathes the same air as the household they are staying with in communal areas. They could have no symptoms and pass it onto members of the household who then pass it onto vulnerable people. Hence, why I believe tests are a good idea.
