[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before covid, all we asked was that people were not sick and washed their hands before touching the baby, and not to kiss the baby's face. This was all reasonable and normal. During the height of covid, in 2020-2021, of course things were different. But now, things are back to how they were. You could ask your MIL to take a covid test prior to coming over if you are worried about covid. But the other stuff- colds/ flu/ rsv- they are the same now as they were in 2019, and the same general precautions as listed above are fine. No sick visitors. Everyone washes their hands. No one kisses the baby's face. [/quote] From what I’ve seen, people behave much more differently post covid and not in a good way. More people than ever get on flights visibly very sick and proceed to cough all over their seat mates because “freedom”.[/quote] That’s nothing to do with OPs question, because again- she isn’t going to let her in laws visit if they’re sick. It doesn’t matter who else around them was sick if they themselves are not sick. [/quote] Actually it’s exactly what OP is fretting about. Re-read the post. She is worried about MIL unknowingly picking up something on the plane and visiting with baby before the illness shows up in her. [/quote] And I'm saying that unless it's covid SPECIFICALLY that she is worried about, it's the same as it was pre- covid where no one cared if you were recently maybe exposed to someone who was coughing, because if YOURE not sick, youre fine. [/quote]
