I wrote about my MIL and SIL the other time. That they might have covid as presented by the symptoms they have. But since they do not want to be tested, we will never know what do they have.
Just this morning my SIL asked me if she can come here to my house.
It will be her 14th day of isolation. And I'm sure she missed going out of their house.
I actually do not want them here yet for a full week more. I have two kids here and me and I have asthma so it is risky. So I told her that politely.
What would you do if you are in my situation?18 people like this

One of my brothers came here and knocked on my front door... I called his cell and asked what he needed because I wasn't letting him in. He said he was just checking to make sure Pretty and I were doing okay. I told him we were doing fine and to have a good drive home again.
I don't care who it is, during the pandemic, they aren't coming into my house!

@cacay1 We found out from one of my sisters later that my brother had Covid 19 when he came over. He wanted to give it to everyone in the family so we could 'just get it and get over it'. He has no health problems but Pretty and I do. I'm glad I didn't let him in.

I would keep them out like you are you have your safety and your children to think about. She will have to wait and respect what you want

I would have said no too. It's just too risky

How I wish I could also tell my SIL not to come here yet until the 3 cases in her barangay have recovered.
But I can't and they started to stay here again, not inside our house though but in our compound, and I cannot prohibit my parents to mingle with them... Haaaay They still do, specially the kids..

@rakski yes it is really difficult. That is why I just tell my eldest sister and she's the one who tells my parents how to take precautions because they don't listen to me,

So, how did your SIL react? I hope she understands that you are immunocompromised and that you have vulnerable children.

I can't understand people not getting tested if they show the symptoms. My daughter is working as a Covid Tester at the moment and she says it's really easy. They are in and out in a few minutes and get the results sent to their phone in half an hour.

You did the right thing. I have politely declined so many visits this pandemic. I hope people on other end are logical and get me. If they are not, it's their problem. They are okay to misread me or misunderstand me.

They're not supposed to be contagious anymore if they had covid but since they wouldn't be tested there's no way to know how long they are contagious. So, it's probably better to stay away.

I do not think I would be so polite. Even if they did not have covid, they might be contagious. Some people just do not understand.

I would definitely say no. We have not allowed anyone into our house since a year ago . . . and we have not been inside anyone else's home either. I have a friend who used to visit with her daughter - and it happened twice that she did not tell me that her daughter was sick until the kids were playing together 
. . . this was before covid. I do not trust her . . . it just has been better that we have this rule that we do not have any visitors at all.

I had a call the other day and was asked could they come over. I said only if you have a key to get in. That was not a joke I am not letting anyone here other than my man and my aide and both of them get frequent tests. My man just got his negative on Monday.
