Name changed as very outing but I need some advice please. Usually very sensible DH, especially regarding the Covid-19 outbreak (think isolating and washing anything delivered to the house, which isn't much), has been doing work in the garden the past few days. He's been chatting to neighbour, whilst they worked, over the fence. Him crouching working, while they stand on the other side. Fence is high but with gaps. I was okay with this but DS not happy!
This evening he's offered said neighbours some bags of wood from our shed and was initially going to put them on their front garden and walk away.
He then got it into his head that he'd take it the back way, to save mess, if they opened their gate and he'd put them inside. He called them and they met at the gate.
WELL!! He then came within 3ft of neighbour and was chatting, only for a short period, but nearer than guidance.
DS and I were aghast and DH immediately said that he would self isolate. For context I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and out of necessity will be starting a course of steroids in two days. Because I'm having a flare up we've been self isolating as a family for over 10 days anyway.
He's now taken camp in the attic which is spacious but has all of DS uni clutter up there.
My question is should we tell him him that he should stay there for 7 days without venturing into another part of the house or an I over sensitive and overreacting? I'm really upset about this 😢
