To have a family member with flu around my 3 month old?

My family were due to come over today for a gathering. My sister messaged me to say my niece has the flu, but she will wear a mask as I have a 3 month old and 3.5 year old.

I said no to this, as I don’t want to get them unwell and masks don’t protect.

AIBU?

If niece has,actual flu she wont be getting out of bed.
Does,she have a cold?
A mask will help to a degree to prevent her sneezing droplets but she must be on her all the tine washing hands and or sanitiser
