My FIL is in his 80s, but very fit and well. Despite his age putting him at high risk, he has been getting out and about throughout lockdown - we offered to get shopping and/or organise deliveries but he likes going to the shops. He is convinced he had Covid-19 in December (!) so takes no precautions and goes to the shops most days. My husband went to meet up with him in the park a couple of times once this was ok, but FIL doesn't really like walking, so was really pleased once he could come over and sit in our garden. Monday he came round, no issues. Today he came round again, after visiting 3 different garden centres looking for something he wanted and needed to use our toilet. Husband let him in, no comment - but I'm really cross. 1) he shouldn't be doing this, it's not allowed yet and 2) he's been to lots of places before us, could have picked up anything and has now been in our house. I've been disinfecting the bathroom and husband says I'm over reacting and over the top, no one else is sticking to the rules at this point and it's all rubbish as coming inside to the toilet is no risk. Is he right? What should we do next time - accept FIL will be coming in when he visits or ask him not to next time?
