Do proper self-isolation for at least 2 weeks before going to see them - and don't take public transport.
Last night tried to explain to my dad the difference between "social distancing" (wfh, avoiding large gatherings etc) and actual self-isolation (no dad, you can't just pop down the shops or see your mates for lunch). We think it's probably ok if he drives round his friend's house occasionally though - they both live alone. Both widowers, 80 and 90.

Not so much my folks but my sister’s in a terrible bind. Her mother in law has terminal cancer and had planned seeing them with her kids for quite a bit of the summer. Both her and her husband are teachers so they’ve been fairly well exposed to people, I guess they’re going to isolate for two weeks and then begin minimal contact.
