Thank you to all of you who have participated in the bi-weekly COVID-19 Q&A Calls on Tuesdays and Thursdays over the past couple of months.
At this point Q & A sessions will be held on an as needed basis and will no longer be held bi-weekly. We will send out an announcement through this email list when we have a Q&A session and topic scheduled.
Please email CovidHomelessnessResponse@kingcounty.gov if you have suggestions for COVID related topics to cover on future Q & A sessions.
Isolation and quarantine are important to help keep the community healthy by containing illness. It can also be hard, especially for those living with multiple family members with a vulnerable family member at home, residents in a group or shared living facility, elders who may not have support, or anyone who does not have a home. We help meet basic needs and provide care so people can recover and prevent the spread of the virus to those they live with and the community. People of any religion, gender, immigration status, sexual orientation, race, and those with disabilities are welcome.
King County’s Isolation and Quarantine services can help.
If someone is unable to stay at home while isolating, please let us know and we will try to help meet their basic needs as best we can.
