Prior to Dec. 3, the city says there had been 27 positive cases since April.
Dr. Eric McDonald, medical director of the County Health and Human Services Agency's Epidemiology and Immunization Branch, released the following statement:
'The increased case counts amongst persons experiencing homelessness is not unexpected given the recent surge in cases throughout the County. Anyone in a congregate setting is at higher risk than those who can stay at home.
The precautions in place at the Convention Center for people experiencing homelessness are excellent and clearly picked up on the cases early. Among the cases that have been recently detected, nearly all have been able to stay in County-supplied hotel isolation, outside the hospital.
As we have seen among new cases throughout the County, one very contagious person who is 'social' can lead to a lot of other cases, and that may be what happened in this outbreak.'
The protocols at the convention center have been in line with public health guidelines since the beginning, according to Ashley Bailey, a spokesperson for the city. She says they've been reviewing them with the County to make sure they are adequate or exceed the current situation's needs.
