COVID ISSUES: STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU GET A COVID TEST DONE AND IT HAS TO BE NEGATIVE BEFORE YOU VISIT YOUR PARENTS/. WHEN FLYING RECOMMEND THAT YOU DOUBLE MASK AND USE GLOVES WITH SANITISER. THERE IS ALWAYS A RISK WHEN YOU VISIT ELDERLY PARENTS THEY ARE IN THE HIGH RISK GROUP. GET COVID TEST DOEN 3-4 DAYS BEFORE TRIP.

Do not visit?: Safest is to forgo visit. Check with local recommendations. Get COVID test 2-3 days before u go. At their house isolate yourself 10-14 days. Do not share bath room. Practice Death Defying Distancing at all times. Everyone wear masks. Cross fingers. Pray. Keep safe.
