    That sounds very stressful.
    The best thing you can do is be prepared to keep things as clean as possible. I'm assuming she'll be tired from her trip back anyway and you can probably convince her to rest up and maybe not run around the house for a day or two. Do you share a bathroom?
    You aren't doomed, trust me, we've all been in this situation and it's just about cleanliness and taking care of you ! Get plenty of rest and just be mindful of washing your hands and keeping surfaces clean. I find the easiest ones to forget are faucets and door knobs--so start with those.
    Most of all stay calm. She may not have a virus at all, and if she does, at least she hasn't been s* in the house!

    Since she didn't actually get sick in the house, you'll probably be fine. Tell her to wash her hands with soap after she comes home. Don't let her prepare food for several days. Ask her to wash her hands more often and more carefully. Bleach the doorknobs, faucets, fridge handles, and lightswitches. Also don't touch food without washing your hands.
