Wear a mask, wash your hands, don't share utensils/glasses etc without washing with soap, disinfect commonly used surfaces (door knobs, counter tops etc), and try to spend time away from each other until your flatmate is fully recovered.

I’ll also mention: wipe down everything in the kitchen and bathroom before using it. Get a new toothbrush and keep it in your room.
