Homeless peo- ple carry high risk of contracting these and other highly communicable diseases because of factors such as: • Living in crowded conditions or visiting locations for services that may also be crowded. • Having limited opportunities to maintain personal hygiene and proper nutrition. • Having limited access to clean water for general use and consumption. • Suffering from a variety of chronic and acute conditions that may weaken the immune system. • Having limited access to care, which can translate into missed opportuni- ties for vaccinations, especially among youth. • Lacking of knowledge of disease outbreaks because of limited access to the Internet and television. • Lacking ability to socially distance themselves in the event of an out- break.
