Coronavirus and cruise ships

[Roxy2012]

Hey guys just a quick post. I’m watching my neighbors pet and they come home from a cruise today, I have to have in person contact to give them their house keys. I’m super nervous I will get Coronavirus if they’ve came in contact with it on the cruise. How do I handle this situation. I don’t want to be like “oh I’ll leave your keys outside you may have corona” help!!

Hand them the keys, then keep an eye on any symptoms for a few weeks. You'll be fine.

I’m so scared I’m gonna catch it and die. I’m 27 and as far as I know healthy

Tie the keys onto a brick and throw the brick through their window.

Lol!
We’re close friends so it’s gonna be hard to just drop the keys and leave too.. ugh
I’m gonna try to make it as quick possible, she’s a nurse so I’m sure she was smart about being as sanitary as possible

I would not go near her! If she is a nurse I am sure she would understand. You can say you aren't feeling too good and you were just hoping to leave the keys (somewhere) for her.

Fed ex the keys back to them...

Text them that you hope they had a lovely trip and that you can drop their keys in their mailbox. Ask them when would be best to drop them off. Wear rubber gloves and drop the keys in the box.

Put the keys on the kitchen counter when they get home just stand at a safe distance and when you go home wash and sanitize your hands maybe even take a shower if it helps to make you feel more comfortable. Then avoid them for 2 weeks haha just kidding about that part

Did anyone on the cruise have coronavirus? I can understand your worry, but if no one had it on the cruise your chances of getting it are very small. I wouldn't give it a second thought as far as giving them the key, though they will probably understand if you chose to give it to them in some other way than hand to hand.

No one had corona on the cruise that I know of. Thank you for all the replies and support. I made it through and hopefully everything will be ok in the upcoming weeks.
