Rules about in-person showings and closings have changed and vary per state. But under the new normal, everyone needs to be accustomed to wearing masks at all times and wearing shoe covers or removing their footwear during in-person showings.
As suggested by Imagine Your House, scheduling a virtual open house is a good option during these uncertain times. However, if you need to have an in-person open house, there are specific measures you can implement to ensure that you, your home, and your visitors are safe.
First, you have to require all persons entering your house to wear a face mask and make sure that their mouths and noses are fully covered. While it is expected that everyone will come with their own mask, there may be visitors who will arrive unprepared. So, be ready to have face masks ready just in case.

Also, your visitors should wear disposable shoe covers before they enter the house or have them remove their footwear at the door and put on the shoe covers. Also, disposable gloves should be required before entering the house. As with the face masks, be ready to provide the disposable foot covers and disposable gloves as well.
