Hi, please help me.

"If one member of a family is infected with the disease, the entire family will be isolated for quarantine."

I found the main clause of this sentence means the entire family will be isolated from the infected member of the family, when I read a translated sentence. Is it also possible to construe the entire family including the infected member will be isolated from other people?
