If it were me, I would strip down in the garage, throw the clothes directly in the whasher and head straight for the shower when I got home. This worked well for me after coming home from cleaning cages/litter boxes at our ECE positive shelter. You MIGHT be ok if you don't handle them, but I would rather be safe than sorry.
