I once went about seven years without driving, and it came back instantly.

I do think people shouldn't leave their cars undriven for weeks or worse yet months. Get in it and take a drive. You don't need to stop anywhere or interact with anyone, but the car really does need to be driven regularly. And no, you are not going to get Covid-19 from the touch pad at the gas station when you do get gas. Really, you won't.
