  2. What procedures should shelters follow to treat residents who show symptoms of COVID-19?
  3. What policies should governments implement to help shelters respond to coronavirus?
  4. How can shelters protect the confidentiality of survivors and avoid screening that denies access to services, while at the same time also protect the health of other residents and staff from COVID-19?
  5. What lessons did Taiwan learn from SARS that helped prepare for coronavirus?
