Similar scenario here. OH went down with covid and has a lot of symptoms while i have some but weirdly, still testing negative.

Handwashing is the major precaution you can take and i have put cuddling and kissing the hamsters on hold which no doubt, they're very pleased about.

I let them out to run around as per normal. It's easy to forget about not getting too close. This morning i noticed that ghost hamster Jim had long nails so i took him out and cut them but forgot to put a mask on.

I think the chances of hamsters catching covid is quite small. Another thing to do is air the house by opening the windows a couple of times per day.

Wishing you both a speedy recovery.
