I have to hop off to get my COVID booster - yeah! - thanks again to all of our CDC colleagues for presenting today. We appreciate you. Wishing all of you a beautiful Thanksgiving holiday and lots of rest!

Will this webinar be available for later viewing? I joined late due to another meeting.

Hi Leslie, yes, this webinar recording and slides will be available afterwards

Thank you.

I feel that substance use treatment facilities and recovery homes are often left out of guidance. We group those together with shelters on our outbreak response team

In my area, we started a work group for the homeless agencies to meet to brain storm ideas and to communicate about what is going on in the area. It has be quit helpful.

Thank you for sharing that, Janarae! We've seen that helpful for a couple counties in multiple locations as well - sometimes just getting the right people together to talk about who is doing what and who has what resources is the best place to start!

Any thoughts about screening testing including vaccinated individuals?

Good point re: substance use treatment facilities--SAMSHA has some amplification of the CDC Healthcare Facilities Guide specifically for treatment facilities: https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/sample-otp-covid-19-faqs.pdf

^Testing guidance in homeless shelters

Can you please speak to best practices in setting up bunk layouts for shelters? My understanding is to keep bunks 6ft away side by side and 3ft away from head to tow

we can send around the discussion questions in the follow up email to see if you all can get some feedback on it since we wont have time to discuss!

Yes that works :-)

Homelessness guidance: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/homeless-shelters/plan-prepare-respond.html

For bed spacing, people should be sleeping head to toe, and peoples HEADS should be 6 feet from each other

Thank you Ashley, that's what I thought

CDC has developed several posters focused on vaccination in prisons and jails: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/communication/print-resources.html?Sort=Date%3A%3Adesc&Topics=Businesses%20%26%20Workplace%20Safety%20%3E%20Correctional%20%26%20Detention%20Facilities
