Even condo's with no AC have forced air in the common areas. This is per the building code, common areas are positively pressured, that way things like cooking smells and more importantly smoke, in the event of a fire, are pushed into units rather than being sucked into the corridors and evacuation paths.
I dont know when this was introduced into NFPA and BC Building code, but it was pre-2006 BCBC.
But regardless of that fact, from the behaviour discussed about the virus, this type of spread is highly unlikely.
The majority of the concern in the virus surrounding appartments, are shared surfaces in common areas, like doorknobs and elevator buttons, not to mention its just increased interactions with people from the moment you step out your door. Interactions that detached homes dont have.
