section_headers: Anyone sick with COVID-19 should stay isolated
section_content: Those with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 should stay in a place where they
can best be isolated from other people to prevent spreading the infection.
Local health departments, housing authorities, homeless service systems, and
healthcare facilities should plan to identify locations to isolate those with
known or suspected COVID-19 until they meet the criteria to end
isolation.
Isolation housing could be units designated by local authorities or shelters
determined to have capacity to sufficiently isolate these people. If no other
options are available, homeless service providers should plan for how they can
help people isolate themselves while efforts are underway to provide
additional support.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Gives advice on helping the homeless stay safe, but is aimed at service providers.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Provides guidance for sheltering homeless people but is aimed at service providers, not the homeless.
This information does not answer the question. This information contains recommendation of what actions should be taken by local health departments, housing authorities, homeless service systems and service providers as well as healthcare facilities to identify and isolate people who are suspected or confirmed to be infected by Covid-19 and experience homelessness. However, it does not provide any guidance for homeless people of what they should do if they suspect that they might have been infected by Covid-19 virus.
