My mom and Coronavirus

You probably get questions all the time , however I'm in a delima. My Mom wears mask "everywhere except when she is at work". Why this is? idk? Her coworkers have already had it but she hasn't gotten it thus far. Anyways, I'm married with a 6 month old son. We also have baby sisters that are family on my wife's side that have multiple morbidities (high blood pressure, diabetes, etc). Since I value your medical opinion, my question is this. Since my mom doesn't wear a mask at work, is it unsafe to be around her even if we all wear masks (including her) and wash our hands? She wants to come over and see our son, but this is causing a rift in our marriage because I want them to come see my son. My wife is a RN BSN and she's adamant that essentially we shouldn't ever allow my mother over if she's not going to wear a mask. I know it's not your place to be Dr. Phil. Just want to know if mask wearing and washing hands is safe enough or if we should just draw a line in the sand and say no if she refuses to wear one at work.
