Have the kids video chat with them

Grandparents love interacting with their grandchildren, but multiple news outlets have reported that children, who are not seriously affected by the coronavirus, have been acting as carriers of the disease and infecting their older loved ones. As a result, visits with grandkids are strongly discouraged right now.

“I’ve had this conversation about a hundred times in the last week,” Dr. Elizabeth Eckstrom, chief of geriatrics at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, told the New York Times.
