Hours later should be just fine, honestly. I would take this off your worry list. The virus would almost certainly not be strong enough to infect anyone after hours. In addition, soap destroys the lipid layer that holds the virus together right away. Altogether, not a worry for your daughter.

What about using the same toilet or sharing a bed with me ?

None of that presents a risk to your daughter.
