So worried about my DD and DGD

I'm so worried about my DD. She has tested positive for Covid and lives alone, no partner, with 7 yr old DGC. She rang to say she was really ill yesterday morning. I rang back at lunchtime and DGC answered the phone saying mummy is really ill she's on the floor. She took the call and said she had fainted in the kitchen. She rang 111 as she was very dizzy. They wanted to send an ambulance. I sent DIL who is local to check on her while OH drove there. We live 2 hrs away. DIL said she hadn't been drinking enough so perhaps that caused it. She stopped feeling dizzy after cups of tea and squash.
OH can't go in the house only the garden as she doesn't want him to catch it. She cancelled the ambulance as she didn't feel faint and dizzy anymore. I don't know what to do. Should I offer to bring them here, or move in there? Is that breaking covid rules? It's so worrying. Thanks for reading.

So glad that you have managed to organise some support for your family. I think that you have totally done the right thing. As this say this is often not a mild disease, even if people don't end up in hospital. Our DD lives alone and is currently struggling. We are monitoring from afar. I hope your DD has a much better day today.

OH has come home tonight as DIL will visit her and she lives 15 minutes away. There is some slight improvement as her headache has gone and temperature down to 100f from 103f. The pills are treating the dizzyness but it returns when next tablet is due so still there. Still coughing and a bit out of breath walking upstairs. It was dramatic symptoms within less than 24 hours from a slight cough Friday night to how she was Saturday afternoon.
The only place she went last week was the pantomime with DGC and both wore a mask, used hand sanitiser, drove her own car there, no visitors.
I'm reading about all these people going to large family gatherings at Xmas thinking covid is just like a cold. It is for some but not everyone. Daughter was fit, well, no medical issues, young in her 20s and fully vaccinated. I never imagined it would be as severe as this for her.
Thank you to everyone who commented, its been lovely to have your support ❤
