What to do if a tenant tests positive for Covid 19

[Gene Baldwin]

This is a theoretical question.

We have a 4 unit and a 6 unit rental property. If a tenant were to test positive, do we as owners have a legal obligation to notify the other tenants in the building? We would want to handle it in a manner that is professional without the other tenants losing their minds. We do think that it would only be fair to notify the other tenants, but are looking for suggestions on a good way to handle the situation should it arise. Thanks ahead of time!

@Gene Baldwin  Not sure how you'd know unless they told you.  I'd just reassure them that if someone is ill, to remain in their unit.  You could also leave some cleaning supplies around for mailboxes and railings.
