Covid in long-term care facility - what about viral load in rooms?

[No Vested Interest]

Daughter diagnosed with Covid. She had first dose of vaccine before Christmas, second vaccine the day before diagnosis.
She was taken to facility's Covid unit.
After one day, another patient was brought into her room as a roommate.
My concern is that the new person will increase the viral load and continually re-infect my daughter, causing her case to be more serious.
Daughter is 59, with many co-morbidities - diabetes, has had a heart attack, etc.
Are there any iniform or accepted practices re sharing a room with another Covid patient?

1. I'm so sorry about your daughter.

When my sister and her husband got it, his brother who is an infectious disease specialist told them NOT to share a room for this exact reason. They suffered through their Covid together yet apart, in opposite ends of the house.

I sure hope your daughter recovers soon.

2. My friend was positive and her husband moved downstairs.

Two days later he had symptoms and tested positive via a rapid test. He was told since they were both infected already with the same virus they could cease distancing.

Specifically, exposure and viral load matter when being infected, post infection it's no longer relevant. This is what they were told this past month. The science is fluid on this novel virus, but it is being honed in more everyday.

My thoughts are with your daughter and I wish her a full recovery.

3. Sorry to hear that.

There are so many things we don't know about this disease, and how to live in and around it. Were you able to get any answers from the people at the facility? Are you even able to talk to them? Your daughter being quarantined makes things so much more difficult. I can imagine the helplessness you feel right now. Getting answers from anyone in the healthcare profession is hard enough in normal times. The COVID pandemic makes it exponentially worse.
I don't have any answers for you, just empathy and the hope your daughter recovers, and you find some peace of mind. Soon.
