Clinical Outcomes, Costs, and Cost-effectiveness of Strategies for People Experiencing Sheltered Homelessness During the COVID-19 Pandemic	2020-10-20		.txt	text/plain	1741	111	44	INTERVENTIONS: We assessed daily symptom screening with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing of screen-positives, universal PCR testing every 2 weeks, hospital-based COVID-19 care, alternate care sites [ACSs] for mild/moderate COVID-19, and temporary housing, each compared to no intervention. CONCLUSIONS & RELEVANCE: In this modeling study of simulated adults living in homeless shelters, daily symptom screening and ACSs were associated with fewer COVID-19 infections and decreased costs compared with no intervention. In addition, we provide details on the Clinical and Economic Analysis of COVID-19 interventions (CEACOV) model and management strategies for people experiencing sheltered homelessness. The effective magnitude of the transmission rate, however, changes over time as social interventions alter the daily average number of contacts between susceptible and infected individuals as well as the infectivity per contact. PCR-positive individuals with mild/moderate illness remain in temporary housing and are transferred to the hospital if they progress to severe or critical disease	./cache/cord-283409-ynwgdz52.txt	./txt/cord-283409-ynwgdz52.txt
