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.

Regardless of the logistics, why have him there if you will both be worried about the virus, wouldn’t it take the joy out of the visit?

Can’t he stay home for now? I’m supposed to have family visit Easter weekend, but it can always be cancelled.

Not very smart to let them come at this time.

My mother landed in Argentina 3 weeks ago and she is under a military mandated quarantine in that country. Even if she could come home, I’d be stupid to let her come and stay with me considering I’d be putting my entire family at risk.

I’d rethink this arrangement if I were you.

Tell ‘em to wait till the all-clear before coming over. Supposedly, folks aren’t supposed to be out anyway.

If he is so self absorbed that he does not get why his visit presents a risk to you the subtle approach is not going to work. Tell him to stay home. Unless this is a family emergency and his visit cannot be postponed. Yur health comes first.

I have a close friend from OR that flew in recently. I told him he could stay with me a couple of months ago before all of this. As this coronavirus spread, I told him to look elsewhere. Im 50 with pre existing conditions and with 2 young kids.

He is single, goes all over the world, and is an "its just a flu bro" type (anti vaxxer too). Nope. See you later, bud. I have a family to protect. Oh, he also ran out of TP AND food.

If he has a bedroom to stay in, then he stays in there. He only comes out to go outside or go to the bathroom. Disinfect the bathroom each time he uses it.

Cook for him and leave it by door.

After 5 days you can be a little more comfortable, but best to do for 14 days.

If he is on your couch, then I would probably let him have the bedroom and I’d sleep on the couch near the kitchen.

Have him stay at a cheap AirBNB for two weeks first?

If it is not critical for them to come to your place, I would tell them to stay put where they are.

At first glance I thought your freeper handle was chickencoop. But maybe that's a place for your guest.

See if there are any Airbnb places in your area. They tend to be cheaper than hotels.

This is just off of the top of my head due to your need I thought I'd suggest it. I have never stayed there but they would have restroom facilities with showers.
On average, KOA campsites for RV's range from $41- $80 US dollars; for camping cabins and other lodgings it ranges from $54- $250.00 US dollars and tents range from $24- $80 US dollars a night. Every KOA site is unique and different from even the KOA sites within the same state.

Tell him to stay home as you are at risk.
