Yes, some will be transmission routes so while R is high they should all still isolate if they have been in contact with a case. The hope is that enough will be immune so the R goes down comfortably below 1 and all isolation ends.
But R isn't some magic number that changes and we just wait for it to be low enough for things to be cool.
R is determined by things such as self isolation, vaccinated transmission dead ends etc.
