Is it possible to get a viral infection if you do not leave the house but your house mates do?

I do not leave the house at all unless I am visiting a doctor or going to a holiday party or special event. And today since around mid afternoon, I've felt weird, as if my body is fighting a cold or flu infection and my dad has been coughing a lot. I usually have no symptoms at all after taking my supplements or vitamins or medicinal teas but today my issue has been ongoing for hours.

Yeah if you have house mates that come and go , if you lived alone and never left the house then probably not

Yes. They can bring viruses home.

The key term here is 'vector'.
A Vector is ANY pathway (animate or passive) that by which an infectious virus may be conveyed into infectious interaction with a potential 'fertile' Host medium. To a Virus... YOU'RE 'food', a growth medium.
Pragmatic 'natural morality' focuses upon reproductive survival of EACH form of life, which places them in contention. May the MOST ruthlessly DETERMINED 'win'.

There are NO hard & fast evolved rules except NOT to play. :'(

Viruses can be brought into the house by visitors or on objects such as your post.

Yes you can definitely get a viral infection even if you never leave your house
