We wear masks.
You might want to ask the doctor if any of her meds might be causing the tremors and shaking.. lots of meds have side effects of unusual movements. While I was getting surgery, chemo and radiation my doctor put me on an anti-anxiety med...it caused odd mouth movements. They quit when I quit the meds.

We see a few masks in public...less than before. We will wear them for as long as we feel necessary.
