Practice for low risk COVID vent patients

Due to risk of community spread, ASA has recommended that all patients have airborne isolation PPE while undergoing intubation or extubation procedures regardless of COVID status.  If you are using airborne isolation for all intubation procedures, are you then keeping the patient in isolation while on the ventilator if they are low risk for COVID?  With community spread, what about patients that are on BiPAP or heated high flow who appear to be low risk?
