Turns out that another unexpected benefit of being a glider pilot is that you're thoroughly prepared for coronavirus. Got the oxygen set, the oximeter, the N95 masks and nitrile gloves from the last time you did fibreglass work ...all set :-)


You could consider washing your hands more frequently and have hand sanitizer in your car, use liberally.
Take a zinc supplement and vitamin C.. Unfortunately many glider pilots are OLD and in some cases immunocompromised...the exact group at most risk for all viruses.
