You parents need to be in quarantine. They cannot be in contact with you or anyone else, until they test negative or the 2 weeks is up. There is no other safe recourse. If you get sick, who will take care of them then? This is in addition to the risk to your husband and anyone else who lives with you. Contact the hospice providers and figure out how to get them care while they are in quarantine. You may have to hire specially trained caregivers with high grade protective gear. After they are cleared for contact, move your parents to AL. If they need constant care they should be in an environment that will provide it, not dependent on outside support.

Oh yes, lets move the parents to Al,, where all the numbers are higher, and most of the deaths in my area have come from, and are still happening. And how do the hospice workers get "high grade protective gear" when we front line workers can not get it? I feel like since she has already been possibly exposed she may want to stay with them for the time being. And get a break from her husband

Everyone who has had contact with the Hospice nurse must remain in quarantine.
