My baby is 15 months old. We would like to attend a wedding of our close relative, on 18th Feb, which will happen in banquet hall. Before that, there will be wedding functions like Sangeet ceremony and so on, which will happen at a joint family residence, located in a small city. City reported around 68 covid cases as of today. I am bit skeptical in attending wedding functions with my 15 month old baby since it is happening at a joint family residence, people will be going out/in for many reasons and also relatives from different places of country like Pune, Banglore, Mumbai, Nagpur will be staying together. Family relatives are trying thier best to convince us to attend wedding functions. Should we attend wedding functions at a joint family residence ? I am bit more concerned about going there with my little baby. Please guide us here.
