Notary and closing
Here is what you can expect or ask for from my experience:
1. New pen for signing wiped thoroughly
2. Pen stays with you after signing
3. Only material they will touch would be your ID
4. ID would be wiped and returned back
5. Can expect gloves to be worn
6. Signing can happen in your front yard or in your garage
7. If you have a Costco table then you can sit on either sides to maintain distancing
8. Masks might be recommended given new guidelines
9. Plus discuss with the notary!!

I got an email saying "You've earned Amex Statement Credit" and then I check my account which shows the $2500 credit.
I closed at 3.375 for 20 year, so hoping to refinance one more time soon.
04/23 - Loan Lock at 3.25% with $4800 credit after matching LenderFi
04/24 - Conditionally approved
04/30 - Appraisal waived
05/12 - Initial disclosure sent (Loan amount still wrong.)
05/13 - Appraisal required (exterior only)
05/13 - Appraisal scheduled (Better ordered interior)
05/15 - Multiple calls and emails to Better go ignored and they don't cancel the interior appraisal
05/15 - Appraisal
05/20 - Final appraisal sent to Better
05/27 - Better claims that they are still waiting on final appraisal.
05/27 - Direct Better to response from appraisal and MAGICALLY they see the completed appraisal
05/28 - Appraisal came in lower than estimated appraisal so they remove $1000 in Lender credit. Mind you, this was a matched rate. (Loan amount still wrong.)
05/29 - Plenty of complaints lead closer to request a concession from management which puts me about $100 in lender credit higher than originally.
06/05 - Closing rescheduled
06/09 - Closing
06/15 - Funded
06/15 - Rate lock expiration date.
So all in all it took almost 7 weeks from rate lock to closing and 8 weeks from rate lock to funding.
Maybe in a month when the 10 year goes to 0 I'll give better a try on a sub 2% refi

Hopefully you close soon and can refi. As a reference point, my refi took 18 days from rate lock to the closing table.

In the other person's case, s/he asked them to provide their best offer when they couldn't match and they obliged. For me, I didn't have to ask. They said they couldn't match, but gave me an offer close to it automatically.
