Guidance for providers of services for people experiencing homelessness (in
the context of COVID-19)

Those who experience homelessness may be at higher risk of contracting
COVID-19 or developing complications due to COVID-19, as they may not be
able to access and use traditional services and standard resources. These
circumstances may affect their ability to follow public health advice, such
as being able to effectively isolate/self-isolate from others and perform
proper hand hygiene.

In the context of COVID-19, the *Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) has
released recommendations specifically for the homeless-serving sector*

(including overnight emergency shelters, day shelters, and meal service
providers). These recommendations aim to assist service providers and
organizations in planning for and responding to a COVID-19 outbreak in the
community.  *Please share this resource widely. *

Conseils aux prestataires de services pour les personnes itinérantes (dans
le cadre de la COVID-19)

Les personnes en situation d'itinérance peuvent être plus à risque de
contracter la COVID-19 ou de développer des complications en raison de la
COVID-19, notamment puisqu'elles n'ont pas accès aux services et ressources
traditionnelles. Dans ce contexte, leur capacité à suivre les conseils de
santé publique, comme être en mesure de s'isoler / s'auto-isoler
efficacement et d'assurer une bonne hygiène des mains, en est grandement
affectée.

Dans le contexte de la COVID-19, *l'Agence de la santé publique du Canada
(ASPC) a publié des recommandations spécifiquement pour le secteur de
l'itinérance*
<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.canada.ca%2Ffr%2Fsante-publique%2Fservices%2Fmaladies%2F2019-nouveau-coronavirus%2Fdocument-orientation%2Fitinerance.html&data=02%7C01%7Cjean.sorensen%40ottawa.ca%7C634af36e1856423cf5ad08d7cf53e368%7Cdfcc033ddf874c6ea1b88eaa73f1b72e%7C0%7C0%7C637205831524600819&sdata=kYsbPYn0b0NBqek%2F4zJNFF6B2QBZB7G1OkwjSAJmyTM%3D&reserved=0>
(ce qui inclut les refuges d'urgence de nuit, les refuges de jour et les
fournisseurs de services de repas). Ces recommandations visent à aider les
prestataires de services et les organisations à planifier et à répondre à
l'épidémie de la COVID-19 dans les communautés. *Veuillez SVP partager
