My parents are in their 90s. They live about half an hour's car journey away from me. My father has quite serious heart trouble. My mother also has health problems but not as severe. She is not well at the moment.
My father recently came out of hospital and said he didn't need any help. For the most part they can manage - they have supermarket delivery etc and my mother can usually do most household things. Of course their cleaner has had to stop coming which is a bit of a problem but has to happen.
I am not going into work at the moment - not for the last 2 weeks. I also have a supermarket delivery and haven't been out. I live with my son who also isn't at work but does occasionally go to the shop, say 2 or three times a week.
I presume that under the current measures I am not allowed to go and check on them or see they are all right for washing/cleaning.
They are such a worry and I feel I can't do right for doing wrong. What should/can I do?
