Due to the increasing number of Omicron cases recently, the facility is filling up with individuals who may have been exposed to COVID-19 or who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and require a place to isolate.
The continued leasing of this facility will allow us to house individuals who may have been exposed to COVID-19.
