If/ when he gets Covid symptoms he needs to stay out wherever he is and not infect other people.
he was laid off from his company... then lost his insurance. his new company did not offer any health insurance, so he had to buy private health insurance on his own, which was almost $2000 per month, with a $5000 deductible, for himself. Then he broke his arm just 6 days before his new $$$ insurance plan was scheduled to kick in. that resulted in a $37,000 bill which he couldn't pay.(except about $10,000 from his own savings) after he declared bankruptcy due to this one medical bill, he lost his new job and could not afford to buy health insurance.....
