I have a relative coming in from another state to stay with me. I am at risk and have been isolated. How do I introduce him into the home, 2 week quarantine? In Garage? Cannot find a camper. Ideas??
I have no real way to have him come into the house and quarantine from me. There are no options. Live in northern new England.
I have a two car garage attached to the house, but it is cold and drafty.
I thought of borrowing a big tent and putting it in the garage to give it some space, and room.
cannot find a camper to borrow or rent.
cannot afford to purchase one
Ideas would be appreciated.

Tell him up front and let him decide what to do.
Ping for some prepper types for ideas.
pitch a tent, point to it and say, “there it is”...
Is he coming from NYC or West Virginia?
Why can’t he sleep in the living room on a sofa? Will he be quarantined with you?
Have him tested, if tests are available in your area , and if he’s negative, invite him in.
What are your risk factors?
Because?
My wife's brother and his wife were supposed to visit us in TX from CA a week from tomorrow. My wife held her ground and told them not to come. My BIL is stubborn enough that even with all of the news since agreeing to not come, they would have flown here. I get that they haven't seen us since we left CA in Oct 2018, but this is not a good time to fly.
We'll likely see them in early October after much of the Texas summer heat has passed us.
Why is he coming? If he’s coming to help you, just accept him the way he is and take all normal precautions (clean clothes, shower immediately, shoes at door) when he comes in.
If he’s coming for just a visit, cancel. This isn’t the time.
“Have him tested, “
Not an option.
Send him back home. This is no time for random visits.
Tell him to stay home.
You’re a very giving and loving relative - God bless you.
The only human I allow within 6 feet of me is my wife.
I wouldn’t have him. Simple as that.
Tell him to stay at a hotel. Or cancel. He should not expect you to put him up given the situation.
PANIC like everyone else.
Tell him not to come.
