My son came home a week ago, he lives/works 50 miles away, his work closed so he didn't need to stay. The main reason for him coming home was, if he was sick who would look after him, he lives in a shared house, we felt that if any if us needed care home was the best place.
If he wanted to come home and going to collect him was the best option, not using public transport, I would do it without hesitation.
