The shelter, provided for free, includes meals and laundry service.
The operation is 100 percent state-funded, but will only operate as long as it is used, said Emergency Management Director Adam Weishaar.
“An example of someone who might use it is someone living with their 82-year-old grandmother, or a house full of people, and they can’t socially distance,” Weishaar said. “If they don’t feel they can keep others safe, they can come to the shelter.”
It’s not only for people who have been identified as exposed to the novel coronavirus or tested positive for COVID-19 and who need to isolate but also those working in high-risk jobs who fear exposure and bringing the virus home to family. They may continue to go to work, he said.
