SPOKANE, Wash.– It’s really not easy to avoid COVID-19 outbreaks, even if you have all the right protocols in place.
That’s what the Union Gospel Mission Men’s Shelter has realized, as more than 70 people have been infected by the virus.
UGM thought it was doing everything right, but as we’ve seen so often throughout this pandemic, an asymptomatic case likely brought the virus into the shelter.
“Honestly, we, throughout the entire shelter system, were surprised we went so long without having any outbreaks,” UGM Director of Ministries Joel Brown said.
In a matter of just one month, the virus infected more than 70 people.
