How the hell do I self-isolate from my partner?

Having been working from home and isolating in my apartment with my partner. Partner has come down with cold symptoms and is staying home from work. How am I supposed to follow isolation procedures from them in a one-bedroom apartment with limited supplies? Is it even worth bothering?

Of course neither of us will be leaving here for 14 days. We have plenty of food. But following official recommendations for isolating from the sick person barely seems possible in a one-bedroom apartment.

Needless to say I do not have a separate bedroom or bathroom for my partner to use. I guess I could sleep in a chair or on the living room floor. Nor do I have face masks and gloves to wear every time I go near them. These things were sold out in my town by the first time I heard the word "coronavirus". And I do have disinfectants but a limited supply, and not sure how I could even get more without breaking quarantine and leaving the house, as everything online is backordered for weeks.

Is it even worth it to try to avoid contagion from a partner that I've been in close quarters with for the past 2 weeks anyway? We are both around 30 and healthy, our biggest concern has always been infecting others rather than getting sick ourselves, but I am very concerned with doing the right thing and not causing any additional strain to society or the healthcare system.
