UTICA, NY - This weekend's frigid temperatures pushed the Utica Rescue Mission's homeless shelter over capacity.
At last count, 64 people needed a warm place to stay, but there are only 59 beds available.
The mission protects them not only from the cold but now, they have to worry about coronavirus.
They take temperatures when people enter, sanitize frequently, wear masks, and social distance.
The Utica Rescue Mission says they'll do their best to make room for everybody.
