Empty apt during the virus? How to rent

I think we all agree that there will be issues in residential and commercial rental markets in the coming days.  How much will the market change?

I don't know.  But my partner and I were talking about this.  What hook can we add to get ours rented first?

How about cleaning the unit/house with a hospital disinfectant?  Then advertising as an apartment that has been sanitized with a hospital grade disinfectant.  Not just spray Lysol, but wiping down all surfaces.  Then rope it off.  or offer to do that before someone moves in.  We usually do this anyway,  But now advertise we do all surfaces that have not been freshly painted.  Cabinets, floors tiled walls and floors etc.

Then with modern technology we video walk through the apt.  Make visitors wear booties and gloves with nothing brought in.

What ideas does everyone else have?  We need to think past the next month or two.
