I would be more concerned about her getting the virus from you and bringing it into the nursing home and not the other way around.

I think we need to begin to open up the country, but nursing homes have too many vulnerable people living there.  This lady doesn't sound very responsible.

She should cancel her cleaning assignments.  If she doesn't, I would just tell it it is too dangerous for her to be in other people's homes right now.

Pay her or not..your choice.

I would cancel the cleaning but absoutely pay her what you would have if she had cleaned your home. That is the decent thing to do.

As much as I'd like to have my house cleaned, I think I would cancel her May cleaning. She may be sympton free, but I don't think it's worth the risk to have her come into your home given her full-time job. I would definitely pay her something...just as a good-will gesture, since nursing homes normally are on the lower-end of the pay scale and you most likely want to retain her going forward.

I would probably cancel if she didn't work at a nursing home. I would definitely cancel since she does. There is no need in taking a chance on exposing yourself. Where I live, people are not allowed to visit nursing homes still. That is reason enough for me.

Definitely cancel, but it would be a decent thing to pay her.

I wouldn't be having ANYONE come into my home to clean these days.

[SeaMaiden]

No way would I have her come in my house.

I think out of respect pay her but not continue with her service at this time. I'd show her respect and tell her your reason so she doesn't feel it is about her work. Paying her is a sign of respect.

Do people really think they are isolating when they have service people in and out of their homes?

I would not have anyone in to clean my house whether they work in a nursing home or not.  Just explain that to her (pay or not) and tell her you will call when you are comfortable with the situation.
