I am looking for someone who has had COVID19, been caregiver, or lived with someone with a positive COVID19 test. What steps did you take to disinfect the room(s) used by the COVID19 patient once out of quarantine?
If you are a transplant patient, did you do the cleaning or the laundry? Were you comfortable re-entering those areas of your home?

We have had COVID in the house several weeks ago. Our teenage son tested positive and was kept home. My husband had to quarantine at home with him. I continued to work, as I am an essential worker. Interestingly enough, my husband (who received a liver transplant in February) did not catch it, but I did. We did not take any special precautions (continued to live our home life as normal). As far as cleaning, I continued what I do on a regular basis. I share just to encourage others that it is possible to have it in the house, not go to extremes and not pass it on. Both my son and I have been recovered for several weeks and my husband was tested at one point and was negative. We are now well past the time when we should have passed it on. Hooray!

My situation was a little different. I was visiting a relative from out of town. After being there for 9 days, he tested positive for Covid-19. We wore our masks immediately and I headed out the next morning. I got tested as soon as I got back in the area. I was not positive. I hope this helps.
