Health District staff continue working with community partners to help individuals experiencing homelessness during the COVID-19 outbreak. So far, eight guests have been isolated at our Myrtle Street recovery center for those with COVID or COVID-like symptoms.

Staff members wrapped up work at the now-closed Northside Aztlan Community Center’s (NACC) temporary homeless shelter after performing 25,216 temperature checks and testing over 300 guests and staff for the coronavirus (just one positive result). A total of 24 guests with symptoms were served in the Health District’s isolation and recovery area at the NACC.
