When family members don't visit the one you're taking care of, any advice?

How can I tell my aunt the one I take care of that her dad passed away I just found out yesterday. And I think they already had his service...

They don't visit because of the virus outbreak or they just don't visit.
If its they just don't visit, then maybe a call or text saying Aunt would love to see family. She's tired of seeing my face all the time.

With this virus, there are no services being allowed. My SILs Mom died 2 wks ago and it was just graveside service with immediate family. So, there probably was nothing Aunt could have gone to.

Just tell her Dad passed and because of the virus there was no service. As this virus gets worse, praying it doesn't, even graveside services may not be allowed. The person will just get buried with no LOs looking on.

Tell her that in the current environment, you really cannot have any funerals.  Tel her that after the virus is over, you will try to get family over.
