Christmas and New Year, for most Albanians will mean a meeting with family and relatives, where they have no way to torment their grandparents.
But what are the rules about meeting relatives at Christmas?
Doctors suggest "think carefully" when it comes to avoiding family and friends, especially those most vulnerable to Covid-19.
Some countries are setting limits on the number of people they can gather at such festivals. The UK allows up to 3 families to meet together, but it is nevertheless important to take precautions and special care if family members are more exposed to coronavirus infection.
Is it safe to visit grandparents during this time?
At a press conference in London, the medical officer, Professor Chris itthitty, urged people to avoid physical contact with grandparents or other elderly relatives.
For Sky News, he said:
"Would I encourage someone to go and hug and kiss elderly relatives?" No, I would not! "It is not against the law, but it would be pointless to risk someone else's life, because you can carry the virus and not know it."
What about cases where grandparents live in the care home?
In such cases, countries such as the United Kingdom suggest that visits "be considered only for residents of nursing homes of working age".
However, if a resident of a care home or even grandparents who are not in the care home but simply do not live with you, decide to join you: They need to keep the right distance, wash their hands regularly and let in plenty of air. clean rooms by opening windows and doors.
Residents of care homes are not suggested to "form a Christmas bubble with 3 families, at any time".
