San Francisco has placed 20 handwashing stations throughout the city in an effort to fight the spread of the coronavirus disease. The new stations are one of the latest measures taken by the city amid a coronavirus outbreak there. Afraid that the virus could race through the homeless population and pose a threat to the entire community, the city announced on Tuesday that it will use RVs to quarantine those who test positive for the virus or who have been exposed to it and are living on the streets, in shelters, and in single room occupancy (SROs). The city also announced that it’s spending $5 million to deep-cleanse the city’s homeless shelters, SROs, and supportive housing buildings in an effort to protect members of its homeless population.
