One of my friends has coronavirus and I do as well. Can she quarantine herself at my house and will it be safe? ?
The hospitals here only take you in if your condition is life threatening. They don't take you in simply for quarantine purposes. I called and they said everyone with the virus should remain home and self-quarantine.
I've had the virus for nearly a week now and she just caught it maybe a day ot two ago. She's got nowhere to self isolate because her grandfather and uncle lives in the same house and they share a bathroom. My room however has its own bathroom and food gets delivered to my house. My question is wil my condition get worse if I'm in contact with her? Can you catch the virus twice? Could her condition get worse if she has contact with me?

It’s better if you quarantine by yourself because you breathe in less virus. One of the reason infected healthcare workers get moderate to severe symptoms is the volume of virus they breathe in. They work in an area where there are covid-19 patients everywhere coughing and sneezing.
She can probably quarantine with you if you keep at least 6 feet from each other. Try to wear masks when you’re in the same room. Disinfect the bathroom after someone uses it. If you have bleach and a spray bottle, it’ll be handy when you spray the bathroom. 70% alcohol is even better because it acts fast. Bleach takes about 10 minutes to do it’s job. You also should make fresh 10% bleach solution each day. Bleach loses potency due to light, time, and heat.
It’s better for her to be with you since she has an elderly adult.
Can you catch it twice. Most likely not but it’s still too early. There are cases where people have caught it, recovered, test no virus, then catch it again. It could be a false negative so the virus never went away.
