So what and so what? Surface to human transmission is essentially zero, and unless you live in a 6 foot closet with no ventilation, normal breathing is highly unlikely to put enough viable virus into the air others breathe to infect them. But if you live in close contact with multiple family members I would wear a mask and isolate as much as possible also. It probably won't make a difference in terms of whether or not a family member gets COVID, but you would feel awful if someone in your home contracted it.
