Hello! I am reaching out to ask for advice. My father in law recently completed chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery to remove a tumor in his esophagus. His surgery was 2 weeks ago. My husband and I want to travel via plane to visit him but we have covid concerns. We are all vaccinated (husband, father in law, me) and have been since february of this year. My husband and I will also take a covid test before boarding our flight. Given these precautions and circumstances, is it safe to visit my father in law who is a high-risk patient?

Dear ma'm. The risk is always there, since even those who are vaccinated may get the infection and pass it on. However, considering your father may also wish to see you and that the pandemic is here to stay with us, you may consider visiting him maintaining all precautions like masking. Try to meet him in a well-ventilated room, use sanitizer, do not touch objects that he will be using. Be extra cautious when you enter his room lest you carry germs with you. Take care.
