Covid-19 and first trimester - Any words of wisdom?

I got a BFP a few days ago and am now about 15 dpo. This is # 3 for us but after struggling to conceive for many months, I miscarried twice last year. We had decided to wait until the end of the summer to try again because we are moving overseas in a few months but it seems like this TTC journey is bringing nothing but surprises! Anyway, I'm wondering if any of you have had any conversations with your doctor about Covid-19 and early pregnancy. I know there is very little data out there and the main concern in early pregnancy is with fever. My husband is currently teleworking every other week but has to still go into work the rest of the time. However his employer is flexible and leaving it up to every person's comfort level if they want to stop coming in (that would mean there are a lot of projects he couldn't work on at all because he can't do it from home but he wouldn't be at risk of losing his job and would still get a paycheck which I realize is such a blessing). We're wondering whether he should talk to his boss to see if he can stop going in for now because we are a little worried about exposure the virus so early in the pregnancy (I mostly concerned about the potential fever). So I'm curious if any of you had a conversation with your health practitioner about it and what the general recommendations were (beyond the obvious stay home and wash your hands...)
