I started to explain, but I'm not going to because that just muddies things.

No, I'd not let them into my house. Even if the ill person did not show symptoms at the time, it's possible for them to already spread the virus (pre-symptomatic is a thing, not only with this virus, but also with things like for example the flu). It also wouldn't matter whether the person you're asking about would show symptoms or not, there are cases of people being asymptomatic carriers, and we do not know yet whether they are able to spread it.
So basically, I'd not let anyone into my house currently, no matter whether they had contact with ill people or even people who do not seem to be sick.
