• What residents of apartments and condos can do to limit the spread of COVID-19:
  • Don’t crowd onto elevators. Consider only getting on with members of your own household, waiting for the next elevator, or taking the stairs.
  • If you must leave your residence, practice social distancing. Try to stay at least six feet away from others.
  • Limit your use of common spaces, like gyms, party rooms, laundry rooms, and pet relief areas. Stay at least 6 feet apart from residents and building staff.
  • Wear a cloth face covering — especially since it may be difficult to stay six feet away from others in elevators, laundry rooms, or other common areas.
  • Limit visitors to those who are providing essential services.
• If you are a building owner, read more about what you can do here.
  • Change the webpage language by going to the top right, clicking on the white bar that says Select Language, and choosing your language.

• For folks who live in small apartments or have crowded households, these are just a few things that they can do to stay safer. Please visit the links below for more complete information.
  • Only leave the house when absolutely necessary. If you must go out, have a family member who is not at higher risk go.
  • If one is sick, provide separate a bathroom and bedroom. If this is not possible, separate them from others as much as possible, especially those who are at higher risk of getting severely ill.
  • If they must share a room, open the window to circulate fresh air, keep a distance of 6 feet between beds, if possible, and sleep head to toe.
  • If they must share the same bathroom, open outside doors, and windows before entering, use a ventilating fan to increase air circulation in the area, and wait as long as possible before entering the room to use or disinfect the bathroom.
  • If you are sick, do not prepare food for others. Eat separately from the family.
