    hello.

    You should be able to, but it may be depending on where you live. I would call the hospital where he's staying, and inquire about their current Covid policy. I completely understand wanting to see your brother. But just a fair warning, I know someone who just visited their family member in hospice, unknowingly contracted Covid on the travel to the hospital, and accidentally brought it to his bedside. The pros/cons are yours to weigh. I'm sorry your family is going through this. Cancer is a monster. Good luck
