The Los Angeles city authorities, who do not have affordable housing, have decided to isolate the newly infected Corona virus in mobile homes equipped for camping, and to park it in an area on its Pacific coast.
More than 20 displaced people have been transferred to the Deauville camp site in El Segundo, in the southern Los Angeles suburb. About 100 houses were placed alongside the site, with a magnificent view of the sea.
Security personnel, wearing masks, impose strict audits at the entrances, while care crews with special vests and breathable equipment tour the inmates.
The Deauville Park is one of five centers that Los Angeles authorities have so far equipped to isolate people living with the epidemic (Covid-19) who do not have the money for that, and the vast majority of them are the nearly 50,000 homeless in the area.
"We need places where people can securely isolate themselves from their families and others," explained Janice Han, the district official.
With the imposition of isolation measures to contain the spread of the virus two weeks ago, California Governor Gavin Newsome announced the allocation of $ 50 million to purchase mobile homes and rent hotel rooms for the homeless. California has purchased 1,300 of these camping houses as part of the current health crisis.
