San Francisco is supplying free alcohol and drugs to some homeless people under COVID-19 quarantine at some of the city-rented hotels, officials confirmed Wednesday.
Jenna Lane, a spokeswoman for the city’s Department of Health, told the San Francisco Chronicle that the city has provided a range of substances—including tobacco and medical cannabis—to 43 homeless people with addictions in a bid to discourage them leaving the hotels that have been adapted as temporary quarantine facilities, and in so doing helping to prevent the spread of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, the novel coronavirus that emerged from China and causes COVID-19.
