Maintain families health and wellbeing
It is a basic need of families to see and interact with each other in order to strengthen relationships which will maintain health and wellbeing. At present families are struggling mentally with not being able to sit down and talk in their homes. The very nature of family is to support one another, being there for one another, knowing you can go to their home and be a good listener or give advice . The 'coffee shop' environment is not always conducive to carrying out the role of parent or grandparent. Covid 19 does not just affect us physically, it is proving detrimental to our mental welfare, we must consider both. It is unnatural not to see family members and is affecting both young and old.
Why the contribution is important
Allowing families to meet indoors in their homes, maximum of 6 people, where they follow FACTS should be a serious consideration in controlling the spread of covid19 and maintaining mental wellbeing.

It is more risky to take an elderly parent out to a cafe to meet up for a coffee and a chat than to do this in their own home.

1.Make sure host home has clean surfaces, open windows if possible.
2.Visitors must wash hands on entering.
3.Masks can be worn and social distancing observed except for young children.
4. Surfaces again cleaned when guests leave and they use hand sanitiser or wash hands before leaving.
If protocols open up industry then they can open up homes to families

People can form a "trust chain" in which everyone limits interactions for a few days prior to meeting to make the meeting safer.
