COVID19: can/should I go home again?

Post date: 2020-04-05 01:55:20

I left NYC at the end of February to help out with a family emergency. I subsequently got COVID and recovered. Should I go back to NYC?

I know we are not supposed to travel. But I'm worried about my cats, and I feel like I could be helpful volunteering to go to the store, etc. for the elderly in my building. I worry that my catsitter, who has been visiting daily and staying 1-2 nights in my apartment a week, will get sick and my cats will be left alone. The cats can't go with her because she has pets of her own and her landlord wouldn't allow more. I'm also feeling very anxious where I am, and I think being home/away from the place I was sick will help. I don't get along with my parents (we had been estranged for a few years before this emergency brought me back in contact), and I keep feeling that the other shoe is going to drop any day. Can I go home?
