They say for drivers, mask up at the gas station and pack meals ahead of time. 

Overnight guests should stow their bags away from common areas and wash their hands immediately. For an extended stay -- wash masks and clothes separately from the rest of the household. This includes college students who are returning home.

The CDC also recommends people should wear masks inside and outside when they are not eating. 

Be sure to screen yourself and guests for COVID-19 symptoms and designate a room for quarantining in case someone feels sick.
