Putting aside the issues of your fathers' age, social situation, long term health concerns & the real risk of what a Covid infection could do to his health, here's some small practical things that might be more beneficial for your father & more reasonable for him to follow, if he does occasionally get some brief company. Maybe once a month meet up outdoors for a quick coffee with a very small group of friends, whilst also doing the following:

- Wear a N95 mask on public transport, supermarkets, shopping centres etc.
- Have coffee/food in a well ventilated area, either outdoors or in a home with windows & doors open, and near their corsi filter/air purifier if they have one.
- Try not to be around tons of people unless you really have to: keep coffee/lunches very smallish in scope.
- Use an over the counter iota carrageenan nasal spray, like this example, both before & after going out in public. If you can't get a hold of any iota carrageenan spray whatsoever for some reason, then an OTC saline nasal spray to rinse your sinuses regularly like this is also an option.
- The newer evidence on this is a bit "ehhhhh" AFAIK, but a mouthwash containing Cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) apparently does have some effect on Covid, plus also for other dental conditions: poor dental health has a major impact on overall health. Supermarkets & chemists sell it, several alcohol free mouthwashes (but not all) have it. Example.
