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.

    Towel under the door? There’s generally a bit of entry space between the door and the rest of the apartment so mask up before you get to that point on the way out? You can really have an entirely safe apartment cause if it was covid proof it’d be airtight and you’d die from that. Generally though I don’t think there’s much chance of someone going through the hallway with covid and expelling enough air in front of your door for it to really matter, people don’t linger in the halls, they’re leaving their house to go outside so it’s not gonna be a major concentration of disease in the air and apartment hallways spend most of their time empty and generally have some ventilation
