Masks for visitors when baby is here?

Question

Our rule is only our parents can come visit and only if they quarantine for three weeks. Considering having them wear masks? I’ll be more exposed to the virus than they are with being in the hospital, though.... what’re your all’s plans?

Answer

I would not ask them to wear mask if I am already asking for them to quarantine for 3 weeks.

Answer

Unfortunately our parents will either come to the garden gate and we will be at the door or through the window at the back of the house 
My parents are 65 and 72 and not a hope in hell I am risking them catching this virus for nothing, I've had a friend who lost her father to it last night and couldnt bear the thought of losing them to this virus.
It will kill my mam as she is just a loving person by nature and she will want to hold my son and snuggle with him, but with us being in the hospital we are at a higher chance of passing something on.
Like I've said to them, in a few months this thing will be dying down and you'll be seeing us virtually everyday, so enjoy the peace now lol

Answer

The other thing I think worth considering is exposing your parents to potential risk? 
My parents are both over 70, completely isolating etc. I’d love for them to see Baby when we arrive home (they only 10 mins from us) and it breaks my heart them not meeting Baby.
However we would’ve been the ones potentially exposed in the hospital to CV and I could never ever forgive myself if we unknowingly had caught CV in the hospital and passed it on to my parents who would likely struggle to fight it off. 
Just another thing to consider...

Answer

I’m having my parents wear masks, obviously wash their hands and I’m providing them a clean shirt to put on when they come in. It’s the closest thing I could get to hospital style PPE in my home.

Answer

I haven’t decided.  My parents live 10 min away and have been quarantined besides the occasional essentials trip for food.  I’m just worried about passing it to them😪

Answer

Masks for sure.

Answer

I don’t think masks are a terrible idea.

Answer

If they must visit, I’d say mask. But most hospitals are discharging you with 24 hours if stable to help minimize your exposure.
