In light of the coronavirus outbreak, the bins will be disinfected after use, and staff will clean the item storage area four times each week. Before the outbreak, the storage area was cleaned monthly. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local doctors have expressed concern that forcing unhoused people to relocate frequently and confiscating their clothes, sleeping bags and tents can leave those people vulnerable to infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat means that you\u2019re more at risk of not being fully prepared to be at your best, healthwise,\u201d said Dr. David Ofman, chief medical officer at the San Francisco Community Clinic Consortium. \u201cYou may not have all the clothing you need. You may lose your jacket so you\u2019ll get colder than you would\u2019ve been.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read the full story <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfpublicpress.org\/during-coronavirus-outbreak-s-f-will-continue-to-seize-homeless-peoples-property\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfpublicpress.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"78\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/brianhowey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/SFPP-Logo.png?resize=819%2C78\" alt=\"San Francisco in grey letters.
