In this short video and podcast Jonathan Mills (Real Estate, London and USA) and Matt Kyle (Health and Safety, Bristol) discuss the health and safety issues that have arisen as a result of the current pandemic, the legal implications for owners and operators, and some possible solutions to allow co-living communities to adjust.

Brand, reputational damage, liability, community, management of communal areas, and the benefits of technology are all touched upon.
