My Dad, who is 89 years old, is in poor health and declining. He lives and is taken care of by my Mum (85 y/o). We've not seen them for months due to Covid-lockdown and they have been totally isolating at home. My Dad has got worse and Mum thinks he doesn't have long left now. We were hoping that the Government were going to allow travel to see another household - but the recent change is only 1 member of the household. Mum can't get him to a public place as he is too frail, she doesn't drive and to be honest is frail herself. Mum can get him on a chair outside in their little patio bit so I could see him socially distanced but it isn't a public place and she would be there two so that's not allowed.
I'd love to see him and say goodbye, scared he will die before any family lockdown is eased and totally don't know what to do. I know the law says I can't see him unless he is alone and outside in a public place. I have been totally isolating for 7 weeks due to my own underlying health conditions.
