He told her to :

. Wear a mask.

. Wash Hands.

. Shower and wash clothes after going to the Grocery Store.

. Mail. Bring it in open then wash hands.

We mostly are doing deliveries of food. That is getting harder to do as all the slots are booked up. The kids are helping us out. They don't want us going to the store. We are in that age group and also caring for a 93 year old.

Love and hugs.

Please stay safe.
