I mean it makes sense, public hallways are also usually pressurized so it keeps smells inside the units too. This would push anything pathogens from the hallways into the units.

God that's a bad design

Not really. The hallways need to be heated and supplied with fresh air, it keeps smells inside units, and if there’s burnt toast, the smoke isn’t making it into the hallways to evacuate the whole building when the alarms go off.

And everyone gets covid when one person has it. Good design

The air gets exchanged, if there wasn’t air being exchanged, what would be different? You would be exposed anytime you go into the hallways anyways.

Stick a towel, or get a better doorsweep and seal yours better.
