Question: What are the steps required to take when an household member test positive for COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: UK):

section_headers: Ending self-isolation and household isolation
Ending household isolation
section_content: After 7 days, if the first person to become ill feels better and no longer has
symptoms other than cough or loss of sense of smell/taste they can return to
their normal routine.
If you live with others, then everyone else in the household who remains well
should end their isolation after 14 days. This 14-day period starts from the
day the first person in the household became ill. People in the household who
remain well after 14 days are unlikely to be infectious.
If anyone in the household becomes unwell during the 14-day period, they
should arrange to have a test to see if they have COVID-19 – go to
testing to arrange. If their test result is positive, they must follow
the same advice for people with coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms – that is,
after 7 days of their symptoms starting, if they feel better and no longer
have symptoms other than cough or loss of sense of smell/taste – they can also
return to their normal routine. However, if their test result is negative,
they must continue with isolation as part of the household for the full 14
days.
Should someone develop coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms late in the 14-day
household isolation period (for example, on day 10 or later) the isolation
period for the household does not need to be extended. Only the person with
new coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms has to stay at home for at least a further
7 days, and should arrange to have a test to see if they have COVID-19 – go to
testing to arrange.
At the end of the 14-day period, anyone in the household who has not become
unwell can return to their normal routine.
If any person in the household with coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms has not
had any signs of improvement and has not already sought medical advice, they
should use the NHS 111 online coronavirus (COVID-19)
service. If they do not have internet access, they
should call NHS 111. For a medical emergency, they should dial 999.
A cough or anosmia (a loss of, or change, in the sense of taste or smell), may
persist for several weeks in some people, despite the infection having
cleared. A persistent cough or anosmia does not mean someone must continue to
self-isolate for more than 7 days.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Provides a detailed response directly answering the question, but providing information on what to do when a household member gets COVID (isolation, testing, etc.) as well as external resources for reference.
Provides detailed information on what to do such as self isolating for 14 days. Main objective is whether you are positive or not, living with someone who is positive follows the same rules as those who are suspected of it.

page_title: Guidance Stay at home: guidance for households with possible or confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) infection
section_headers: Will my household be tested if we think we have coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms?
section_content: Anyone with symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) must immediately self-isolate
and arrange to have a test to see if you have COVID-19 – go to
testing to arrange.
If you develop symptoms you may wish to alert the people that you have had
close contact with over the last 48 hours to let them know that you might have
coronavirus (COVID-19) but are waiting for a test result. At this stage, those
people should not self-isolate. Alerting those that you have been in contact
with means they can take extra care in practising social distancing and good
hand and respiratory hygiene. They can also be more alert to any symptoms they
might develop.
People who have tested positive will receive a text, email or phone call
requesting that they log into the NHS Test and Trace website to create a
confidential account where they can record details about their recent close
contacts. If you do not have access to the web, then you will be phoned by a
contact tracer working for the NHS Test and Trace service. The information you
provide will be handled in strict confidence and will enable the NHS Test and
Trace service to contact those people and provide them with advice on whether
they should go into self-isolation. This will help stop the spread of
coronavirus (COVID-19). The people contacted will not be told your identity,
but by alerting them when you first develop symptoms, you can help make sure
that they are prepared for being contacted by the Test and Trace service.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Does not directly answer the question of what to do if a household member becomes sick with COVID and instead discusses what to do if you yourself get COVID, as well as how to get the results and how to use the trace services outside of the household.
Provides guidance on what to do if someone near you has tested positive for COVID.

section_headers: Main messages
section_content: If you have symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19), however mild, OR you have
received a positive coronavirus (COVID-19) test result, the clear medical
advice is to immediately self-isolate at home for at least 7 days from when
your symptoms started. Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. You
should arrange to have a test to see if you have COVID-19 – go to
testing to arrange.
Consider alerting the people that you have had close contact within the last
48 hours to let them know you have symptoms of coronavirus COVID-19.
Following a positive test result, you will receive a request by text, email or
phone to log into the NHS Test and Trace service website and provide
information about recent close contacts
After 7 days, or longer, if you still have symptoms other than cough or loss
of sense of smell/taste, you must continue to self-isolate until you feel
better.
You do not need to self-isolate if you only have a cough or loss of sense of
smell/taste after 7 days, as these symptoms can last for several weeks after
the infection has gone. See the ending
isolation section below for more information.
If you live with others and you are the first in the household to have
symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19), then you must stay at home for at least 7
days. All other household members who remain well must stay at home and not
leave the house for 14 days. The 14-day period starts from the day when the
first person in the household became ill. See the explanatory
diagram.
Staying at home for 14 days will greatly reduce the overall amount of
infection that people in your household could pass on to others in the
community.
If anyone else in the household starts displaying symptoms, they must stay at
home for at least 7 days from when their symptoms appeared, regardless of what
day they are on in their original 14-day isolation period. The ending
isolation section below has more information, and
see the explanatory
diagram.
If you have symptoms, you should stay as far away from other members of your
household as possible. It is especially important to stay away from anyone who
is clinically vulnerable or clinically extremely vulnerable with whom you
continue to share a household.
Reduce the spread of infection in your home by washing your hands regularly
for 20 seconds using soap and water, or use hand sanitiser, and cover coughs
and sneezes.
If you feel you cannot cope with your symptoms at home, or your condition gets
worse, or your symptoms do not get better after 7 days, then use the NHS 111
online coronavirus (COVID-19) service. If you do not
have internet access, call NHS 111. For a medical emergency dial 999.
If you develop new coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms at any point after ending
your first period of isolation (self or household) then you must follow the
same guidance on self-isolation again. The section below (After ending self-
isolation and/or household-isolation) has further information.
