Homeless advocates push measures to stop coronavirus outbreaks at shelters
As King County shelters see more people testing positive for coronavirus, those who work to help the homeless are concerned about the potential for a surge in that population.
Daniel Malone, the Executive Director of the Downtown Emergency Service Center says they have been making dramatic changes. The organization helps 8,000 homeless and formerly homeless people.
The organization has been working to create more space and get more testing.
"I don't know exactly why it seems to have taken a little bit longer for this overall outbreak to manifest in the homeless population," said Malone.
