It all comes as the track cycling star awaits to find out if he's named in Australia's team for the Tokyo Olympic Games on Thursday - if they go ahead in July.
Given he helped end Australia's eight-year podium drought in the team sprint at the world championships in Berlin recently, there's a fair chance he will get picked for his second Olympics.
If they go ahead.
The coronavirus has thrown world sport into turmoil with the International Olympic Committee saying it's too early to make a call on whether Tokyo will happen.
That uncertainty was highlighted by Hart being forced to set up a temporary gymnasium at his house with the Cycling Australia training base in lock down following a staff member testing positive to COVID-19 on Monday.
Hart said he wasn't concerned about contracting the virus himself, but didn't want to pass it on to anyone else if he did.
He was hopeful training would return to normal next week.
"We're in the process of taking gym equipment from the track and training at home," Hart said.
"That'll happen for the rest of the week and then they'll decide what to do after that.
"We're finding ways around it.
"We planned on going to a camp in Perth next week, but that was cancelled.
"Hopefully the building's all cleared and we're able to train on the track. If that's not the case there are options to train on ergos and stuff."
His parents went to Berlin to watch him compete and that's why they face a two-week self-isolation when they get back to Canberra.
They weren't due to return until the end of the month, but with the pandemic sweeping the world they've managed to bring their flights forward.
Hart's brother will help them with supplies when they return to the ACT in the coming days.
"They were in Berlin watching us race, which they normally do, and they had plans to go to Sicily," he said.
"You wouldn't even think of going there now, but back then it was only just starting ... and they did decide to go there and it all started kicking off.
"So they only spent a couple of days there and then they flew to the UK.
"They're on their way home and my brother's ready to help them out with their quarantine, drop some food over to them.
"They'll need to have that for two weeks, chilling out."
Hart said even though he spent all his time training to get to the Olympics, there were bigger things going on.
"Up until a couple of months this situation wasn't even on the cards and I was definitely looking forward to the prospect of racing at a second Olympic Games," he said.
"But if it doesn't happen or it doesn't happen at the time I was expecting it to it's not the end of the world."
