Mum is clearly vulnerable. Anyone caring for her should use precautions and have minimal close contact without face mask and gloves. Use extra care with hard surfaces and wipe them with soap and water or cleaning solutions. Similarly make sure to wash hands. Have minimal exposure to anyone else outside the household
