[I was] discussing some of the risk filters the government is using at the hospital as patients arrive.  Obviously along with questions about symptoms; they are asked about contact with anyone that has traveled to many countries our pilots still fly to.It occurred to me that our [training] group will all be a yes to that question and if any of our pilots end up positive for the virus; we as a group could end up being the perfect spread mechanism to a larger number of [company] pilots and employees.I politely don't shake hands anymore but more directly we as a fleet should consider a moratorium on the use of O2 masks in the training devices.  I am not personally that worried but smart actions would seem prudent.
Air carrier First Officer suggested a moratorium on the use of oxygen masks in the flight training devices in order to minimize the possible transmission of COVID-19.
