Question: What are some things we need to know if we are living in shared housing or a facility that has many residents?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Living in Shared Housing
section_headers: If a resident has or thinks they have COVID-19
section_content: Administrators
Residents are not required to notify administrators if they think they may or
have a confirmed case of COVID-19. If administrators do receive information
that someone in your facility has COVID-19, they should work with the local
health department to notify
anyone in the building who may have been exposed (had close contact with the
sick person) while maintaining the confidentiality of the sick person as
required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and, if applicable, the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).


If possible, designate a separate bathroom for residents with COVID-19 symptoms.



Consider reducing cleaning frequency in bedrooms and bathrooms dedicated to persons with COVID-19 symptoms to as-needed cleaning (e.g., soiled items and surfaces) to avoid unnecessary contact with the ill persons.

Sick person and close contacts
The sick person, their roommates, and close contacts need to self-isolate –
limit their use of shared spaces as much as possible. They should:

Wear a cloth face covering when it is necessary to be in shared spaces.
Avoid using public transportation, ride-sharing, or taxis.

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.

This information is irrelevant to the question.

While this answer relates to facility protocol, it does not address what one should do in a shared housing situation.
