The study found that restructuring homeless shelters to allow for physical distancing, testing, and isolation can help decrease the spread of outbreaks among residents and staff.
We tested 104 residents and 141 staff for coronavirus disease 2019 who failed daily symptom screening in homeless shelters in Hamilton, Canada. We detected 1 resident (1%), 7 staff (5%), and 1 case of secondary spread. Shelter restructuring to allow physical distancing, testing, and isolation can decrease outbreaks in shelters.
