The City of Seattle and King County are in the process of minimizing the concentration of people living in shelters in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, particularly for people experiencing homelessness and those who cannot safely quarantine in their own homes. They're temporarily adding over a thousand beds in other places and increasing the distance of all beds between people. (Photo by Karen Ducey/Getty Images)
