Dear hosts
I wonder how it will be perceived if you wear a facial mask when greeting guests. ?
No handshaking or hugging ..and I know we love hugging . And definitely wear disposable gloves when cleaning bathroom and bedrooms and to put dishes through high temperature dishwashing cycle
I would put linnen in sun after a nice hot wash.
Or dry at hight temperature.
We have an antibacterial nasal ointment that I swear by when we travel in any flights. Local or international.
You insert into each nasal passage three times daily ..bactroban is our local trade name for it Since using this we have not attracted any nasties and I also use it when caring for sick family members.
I know it is antibacterial amd not anti viral..but anything to keep the virus from entering your body is beneficial.
I am thinking of people that have a compromised immune system ...like Ade and young children . How can we be a sensitive host and friendly and caring without making our Chinese guests feel they are not welcome and we are uncomforable with them.
I wish you the best. I can feel your unease and worries and I do not think it is overreacting from your side.
Be safe.
