This is nonsense.

Go through a drive through like Mobile One where you don't get out of the car.

I’ll say again that time doesn’t matter.

Drive at least 5000 miles between changes.

It’s really not that serious. Your car will not suddenly cease to operate due to a month or two delay in having the oil changed...

I’m not sure where you live but Quality Discount Tire in Kensington is great and they do oil changes - they are offering free pickup and delivery of your car within a 5 mile radius right now.

Is it okay to delay an oil change? I am a very type-A person that never misses deadline so the idea of waiting makes me anxious. I was thinking I’d park my car there leave the keys in car unlocked and call and pay and then pick my car up 2 days later And disinfect the inside. What would you all do?

Healthcare worker? if so, read this:

Your car doesn't have to be a Mazda, they'll take any car.

I wouldn't worry about getting an oil change right away, but I would check the oil level with the dipstick. Subarus have a nasty reputation of losing oil between changes.
