San Francisco will temporarily house members of its homeless population who are infected with the coronavirus in RVs for self-quarantines
On Monday, the mayor announced that the city would spend $5 million to deep-clean homeless shelters and SROs.
Those living on the streets are more at risk of contracting infectious diseases such as COVID-19.
A 2019 count placed the number of homeless individuals in San Francisco at 8,011. Many don't have the luxury of taking the recommended precautions to avoid contracting COVID-19, like handwashing and keeping a distance from sick people, as Business Insider's Holly Secon reported.
