COVID-19 outbreak at a large homeless shelter in Boston: Implications for universal testing	2020-04-15		.txt	text/plain	1103	78	56	Upon observing a cluster of COVID-19 cases from a single large homeless shelter in Boston, Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program conducted symptom assessments and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for SARS-CoV-2 among all guests residing at the shelter over a 2-day period. In mid-March, 2020, Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP), in partnership with city and state public health agencies and community partners, created a COVID-19 response strategy that included front-door symptom screening at area shelters, expedited referrals for SARS-CoV-2 testing and isolation for those with respiratory symptoms, dedicated treatment settings for COVID-positive individuals, and detailed contact tracing of confirmed cases. With support from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH), BHCHP rapidly conducted polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for SARS-CoV-2 along with focused symptom assessments among all guests residing at the shelter over a 2-day period.	./cache/cord-260886-v1ei9im8.txt	./txt/cord-260886-v1ei9im8.txt
