It is of course voluntarily.
If you do not want visitors...then that is your right.
The tricky part of that however, it how do you tell someone politely and without offending that you do not want them to visit you?
Besides...the question "do you need anything?" Is not limited to food or something else you can order.
You cannot order yourself a glas of water...of course you can, but it would be pointless.
You cannot order yourself company or help in some sort of way...since you are sick.
It is about bonding...it is about showing each other that you are there for them.
Yes, and the company can be done via video call :) You see why I'm asking.
Example is, a friend of mine, she's a believer left the hospital (I just found out that) and I wanted to visit her, but she said: No, no, really I need nothing. My mom cooks, I have everything, I just need to rest... Now, my intention was real, especially because I know she lives alone. And the deed of visiting the sick is not going to be written to me...
And in 19 century, we couldn't call at all. The only option to know how is anyone doing was by visiting. You just come at the door.
Now for COVID, it's also difficult. But, is bringing food at the door of COVID person going to be written as visiting?
