Would you ask him to stay away?

My son is currently visiting / staying with his girlfriend (Was due home Sunday) and she’s just started symptoms of what’s probably a cold but has a headache, sore throat and slightly bunged up.
Do I ask him to stay away and stay there until it becomes clear what it is?
I have health issues and also work with vulnerable others so I really can’t afford it to be in this house if possible.

The symptoms are a new persistent cough and a high temperature.
That sounds like a cold.

I agree with you but do we know if the cough develops later or is it always the first symptom?
The girlfriend hasn’t been here for 2 weeks and my sons not seen her for a week so there’s no chance whatever she has has been in this house yet.
Trying not to be paranoid!

If he has it, u have it

It’s not him that has anything though but now may have been very exposed to whatever it is, so I’ve not been exposed, yet.

I would ask them nicely to stay away.
