From what I understand the viral load increases as the disease progresses. So it would make sense that the family did not get sick while the hospital workers did. Also, you say they were covered from head to toe but from what I understand what they were doing to protect themselves actually made it worse because they there double and triple gowning and using tape. So when they broke scrub they were causing the contamination in addition to not having full face coverage. Also, I don't believe the masks that were used were impervious either which would also be a huge issue.
