Is keeping your distance in the house or apartment is what is recommended?

I can answer this one. People are scared to go back to their own homes in fear of infecting their kids or spouses. Some have found creative ways to isolate themselves such as sleeping in the garage, setting up tents, or sleeping in a room alone away from everyone else. Others have resorted to renting hotel rooms if necessary. It's been recommended to us to leave a pair of shoes at work, shower and change as soon as we get home and obviously try not to touch anything before doing so. It hasn't gotten to this point yet, but a lot more people are wearing hospital scrubs now. If things get worse, we'll probably ALL be wearing scrubs which will wreak a bit of havoc on our linen rooms.
