ARLINGTON, Va. – The National Apartment Association (NAA) is offering guidance to apartment communities regarding COVID-19:
- Refer media and stakeholder inquiries to resources from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and other qualified officials. NAA recommends that guidance from the CDC and other officials be treated seriously.
- Continue to monitor the situation. Stay tuned to your local authorities and their ongoing communications.
- If a resident is confirmed to have or is believed to have COVID-19, do not direct facilities management or maintenance staff to the apartment. Immediately notify the local health department and contact CDC for guidance regarding appropriate measures to take.
- Ensure your office has the proper contact information of the local health authority and/or the best CDC resources on hand for handling queries from local stakeholders.
NAA also provided answers to potential questions from residents and/or media in its COVID-19 press release.
