Should I visit elderly relative?

My nan is 90 and I am meant to see her this afternoon.

Both me and DS feel fine and she likes having visits, doesn't have many others. I am now just cautious about visiting and can't decide what to do

You are feeling fine, wash your hands and go and visit her. I’m still visiting my mother, with an eye to her being isolated in her care home for 4 months. She’s going to need to stockpile love and affection if she’s going to make it through.

Please make sure she’s has Skype/FaceTime set up and knows how to work it if possible.

I think see her yes....but maybe limit the hugging etc if you can??? Many care homes are already on lock down. Now would be a great time to set up tech such as skype etc.
