An individual who had been staying at the Tacoma Rescue Mission’s emergency homeless shelter for men has tested positive for COVID-19, the nonprofit announced late Wednesday.

It marks the second positive COVID-19 test at Tacoma homeless shelters this week.

According to a statement provided by the Tacoma Rescue Mission, the positive test result was received earlier in the day.

“When the test result was confirmed, the affected guest was transferred to a secure location off Tacoma Rescue Mission property, where they are being monitored by the Health Department,” the Rescue Mission said in its statement to The News Tribune. “To limit further spread of the virus, Mission staff used Health Department guidelines to sanitize impacted areas.”

high levels of infection growth even while the rest of us stay cooped up in our comfy homes.

2. Tacoma Rescue Mission is across town from my clinic, not far from where the old

homeless clinic was.

We were doing testing at Nativity House today. Or we were going to; no one we evaluated fit the profile. We can't test everybody.
