Showing an occupied rental unit during the Pandemic?

So one of my tenants just gave me notice that they will not be renewing their Lease in 60 days. 

Not having dealt with this situation in the midst of a pandemic before, I'm a bit perplexed as to how to go about showing the property to perspective Tenants, while looking out for my current Tenant's wellbeing as well. 

I was wondering how some of you other LL's may be handling this.

I'm going to speak w/ my current Tenant and see how they feel about it. 

And although I would ensure that anyone entering the home is wearing masks, gloves and Social Distancing, etc., I know I wouldn't feel very comfortable with that if I were the current tenant.

I would not be showing a large volume of people as I have a very stringent screening process, and the last 2 times that property was for rent, the first applicants I showed it to each time rented it.

But with that said, I'd really prefer not having to wait until the current tenant vacates to start showing the property.  

Appreciate hearing how some of you in similar situations are handling the matter.
