Shelters Told to Skip Social Distancing

Heather Knight's column today revealed that Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing this week "circulated a directive among shelter operators instructing them not to move beds 6 feet apart from each other or to create isolation rooms for people who may have contracted the coronavirus."

This is what it said:  

“Please do NOT implement 6 feet social distancing guidance in shelter until instructed to do so."

However, a few hours after she posted this column on line, they received different instructions.
