Is your state doing inspections during covid?
Mine is. I need a nice firm way to tell my inspector she's not coming in my house at this time. My provider friend told her no she didn't feel comfortable with her coming in the house and the inspector came anyway.
The food program is only doing video inspections as well as our child care resource and referral visits are video calls only so i don't know why the inspector thinks she should be out going through providers homes.
Our inspector does the whole county not just our town. What's a nice firm way to let her know she's not coming in my home at this time???

In my state if I am open for business I legally can not deny my inspector entrance.
Thankfully, my state is smart enough suspend in home inspections and are limiting contact between in-home providers and their licensors.
If you are unable to deny entrance, I would require full mask, gloves etc be worn while in your home.
I would contact your licensing department and ask what your legal options are.

It is not legal to refuse them entry if children are in the home. If you are open, you must let them in. 
Mine did a half virtual (zoom), half digital (scan and upload all documents, time consuming) inspection. Although it went much easier than I expected, a physical visit would have saved a lot of time and effort.

Illinois is allowing home visits. I had mine and it went fine. She was very mindful of social distancing and did not even do a walk through, just the paperwork.
