Question: How can the homeless protect themselves against the COVID-19 outbreak?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Homelessness and COVID-19 FAQs
section_headers: Should homeless encampments be cleared?
section_content: Connecting people to stable housing should continue to be a priority. However,
if individual housing options are not available, allow people who are living
in encampments to remain where they are. Encourage people living in
encampments to increase space between people and provide hygiene resources in
accordance with the Interim Guidance for People Experiencing Unsheltered
Homelessness.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is irrelevant to the question. The answer does not provide any information on how homeless people can protect themselves against the Covid-19, instead the answer provides information on how to help people experiencing unsheltered homelessness.
This answer seems geared more for social workers dealing with homeless people rather than the homeless themselves as the question suggests.

section_headers: How can people experiencing homelessness protect themselves when COVID-19 is spreading in their community?
section_content: Many of the recommendations to prevent
COVID-19 may be difficult for
a person experiencing homelessness to do. Although it may not be possible to
avoid certain crowded locations (such as shelters), people who are homeless
should try to avoid other crowded public settings and public transportation.
If possible, they should use take-away options for food. As is true for
everyone, they should maintain a distance of about 6 feet (two arms’ length)
from other people. They also should wash their hands with soap and water for
at least 20 seconds as often as possible, and cover their coughs and sneezes.
