I’m moving out soon and I’m thinking of moving into this beautiful pre-war building. I’m worried though about covid spreading and I’m wondering what precautions people living in apartments currently are taking.

Thing is I can find an apartment with a private entrance and in-unit wash/dryer, which would probably be better for covid, but this building is just nicer - better location, maintained better, it seems like the landlord is more present and responsive. Idk it’s a better deal, I’m just worried about covid.

    My apartment has its own HVAC unit and all appliances including laundry are in unit. I also have a breezeway rather than a hallway which makes my apartment effectively isolated from any other interior spaces. But I still run a HEPA filter all day, and frequently keep the windows open for fresh air. When Ive lived in more traditional apartments the fresh air from the windows + HEPA filter + masks when in common spaces were my main precautions. Having one of those under door seals that sticks to the bottom of the front door is a good move too
