Regarding the importance of being supportive, it's not a good practise to be supportive of bad practises.
With reluctance I have canceled bookings from people traveling a few hours and planning to self-isolate at our places. Because neither they nor I can be sure they will not expose themselves or others with (maybe unplanned) stops or shopping, and turning over the houses requires our cleaners to be out and about in the community. We've also canceled our own upcoming visit, for the same reasons.
These were difficult decisions, but it's really clear, to me, that governmental authorities were and remain way behind the curve on this thing, and individual action beyond governmental requirements is in order.
I would be happy to donate the use of my spaces to local first responders or healthcare workers needing to self-isolate. But I just can't live with the possibility of contributing to the looming overload of the systems those people support and we all depend on, by enabling any nonessential travel.
