Good work, you did your best.

The virus is spread by utensils (knife, fork, spoon, cup, bowl, plate) use after someone infected, and by food or drink that has the virus in it.

So your best care in preparing food or drink and washing dishes is indicated.

The very best you can do for your family is not prepare food or wash dishes for them and just stay out of the kitchen.

Designate another or let the family get food from outside the home until you are over this.

It is rough to stop every possible avenue of contact with viruses, but the above is the best plan to try.
....................

On closed doors-

A GI virus, stomach flu, is spread by ingestion rather than air droplets.

The closed doors do not hurt but are not the focus of "enteric" (stomach) virus spread.
...........................

Stay hydrated, let your husband attend the children's needs, kick back and rest with your cup or glass separate with you alone, it will pass usually within 48 hrs of the abrupt start.

I understood exactly what you did and why from the question.

Yes they can get it as the germs fly and they also can live on your hands if you don't wash properly. If you truely had the stomach virus you would not have been able to clean the bathroom a couple of time as you would have been to sick and weak to even think about cleaning a bathroom. I think you just may have had something that didn't agree with your stomach and the true stomach virus.
