  Mine recently re-opened. Now that we've had some time to research how this virus spreads, and discovered that surface transmission really isn't as big a deal as we initially feared, I'm not so worried about it. You can quarantine them for a few days after checking them out, if you like. Just like mail. Or pizza deliveries.
