Question: When living in shared housing during COVID-19 what should we do to keep common areas safe

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Living in Shared Housing
section_headers: Common spaces
section_content: Be flexible, rules may change in common areas. Maintain 6 feet of social
(physical) distance between yourself and everyone that you do
not live with. This may mean there will be alternatives to activities,
cancelled activities, or closed areas. If you see people in areas that are
small, like stairwells and elevators, consider going one at a time. Here are
some examples of how the rules in common spaces may change:
Shared kitchens, dining rooms, laundry rooms, bathrooms

Access should be available, but the number of people should be restricted so that everyone can stay at least 6 feet apart from one another.
People who are sick, their roommates, and those who have higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 should eat or be fed in their room, if possible.
Do not share dishes, drinking glasses, cups, or eating utensils. Non-disposable food service items used should be handled with gloves and washed with dish soap and hot water or in a dishwasher.
Guidelines for doing laundry such as washing instructions and handling of dirty laundry should be posted.
Sinks could be an infection source and should avoid placing toothbrushes directly on counter surfaces. Totes can be used for personal items so they do not touch the bathroom countertop.

Recreational areas such as activity rooms, exercise rooms, pools, and hot
tubs

Consider closing or restricting the number of people allowed in at one time to ensure everyone can stay at least 6 feet apart, except for essential activities only, such as water therapy.

section_headers: The facility
section_content: 
COVID-19 prevention supplies should be provided in common areas, such as soap, alcohol-based hand sanitizers that contain at least 60% alcohol, tissues, trash baskets, and, if possible, cloth face coverings that are washed or discarded after each use.
Non-essential volunteers and visitors in shared areas should be limited or avoided.
Staff should avoid entering residents’ rooms or living quarters unless it is necessary. Staff should use virtual communications and check ins (phone or video chat), as appropriate.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
It does say that soap should be in common areas.  Other than that, it really doesn't say anything specific about common areas.
This is a decent answer. There's not a lot of information here but what is here appears to be relevant to the question. More info would bump it up to excellent

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This appears to be focusing on medication while the question is asking about shared living spaces which this response makes no mention of. Not a good answer
This mostly talks about medication and conditions.  There is nothing here specific about common areas.
