Because the quarantine for someone who lives with someone else with Covid is 10 days after the person they were exposed to is no longer contagious. If you live with someone and they get sick on the 9th day then that person is contagious for 10 days or longer. People in that household then are potentially at risk for getting sick for another ten days. So now you are at 9+10+10 = 29 days.
