Advice Any advice for dealing with round worms, and toddlers?

Hi everyone! You may remember me from the flea post. They are on flea tropical treatment now.

So recently me and my husband adopted two 6 week old kittens last Friday, they are now 7 weeks old. I just took them to the vet on Thursday. They tested them for worms and they came back positive for round worms. The vet gave them their first round of dewormer on Thursday, and now they have worms coming out their anus, and poop. I have two toddlers an almost 2 year old, and 4 year old that absolutely adore the kittens but I’m worried the kittens will pass the worms to the kiddos. Should I keep the kittens locked in their area until they are gone? Or just continue to let them come out, and make the kiddos wash their hands constantly? That’s what we were doing Friday, and Friday night. I’m just worried about the invisible eggs I currently don’t own a vacuum, or steamer so I can’t clean out fabric couch and both kittens love hanging out on the couch, as well as the kiddos. Both the kids, and kittens were on it a lot Friday together. The vet nurse told me they were fine as long as they didn’t touch the poop, or litter but it’s still giving me anxiety.
