Only local family are my divorced parents. My husband and I lived with my mom until September last year, so we were very careful about only going essential places (grocery stores, etc.). Once we got our own place, we still visit in person (her place or ours) a few times per month. Generally maskless and indoors, but distanced. It's really the only socialization she gets, and she's ok with the risk. However, with the more-contagious strains, we're being more careful. Plus we've been attending some dog training classes (4 people per class, everyone masked, everyone separated by barriers to keep the dogs calm).
My dad and his partner are much more conservative. Until the fall spikes, he was fine being inside, distanced, masked. But, now it's only outside, masked for a very short time (with one visit in December inside, but masked and distanced). They both have their first vaccination, but they plan to continue being careful for some time even after their second.
As for masks, I usually have some issues with facial recognition and use other cues to recognize people (gait, hair, voice, etc.). I find that I rarely have much trouble recognizing somebody with a mask on because I don't usually depend on the lower half of the face (or the "whole" face) to begin with.
