Personally, I do.
The DR's offices are asking all patients if they have traveled in the last 4 weeks (they just asked me this when I called to cancel my physical this morning).
Yes, given the fact that the family traveled I would think they are the people the clinic DOES want to see/check.
If anything they should call their physician and ask.
As the provider, I would exclude as a safety precaution. As I said previously I'd rather tick off one family than spread something to everyone.
I just wrote up a letter and info packet to send home with all my parents pretty much telling them that I wont make exceptions and that care and prevention for them is THEIR responsibility. I'll do my part FOR the group but they must do their part INDIVIDUALLY.
