The Denver COVID-19 Joint Task Force is a multisector community partnership which formed to coordinate Denver's pandemic response in people experiencing homelessness (PEH).
Describe how interdisciplinary community partners collaborated to develop, implement, and pilot severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing and isolation protocols in congregate shelters, and discuss lessons learned and subsequently applied.
In March through May 2020, community partners collaborated to design, implement and conduct pilot testing paired with isolation in a subset of PEH at a congregate shelter to assess feasibility and inform protocol development.Results and Lessons Learned: We performed SARS-CoV-2 testing in 52 PEH with 14 (27%) testing positive or inconclusive. Thirteen (93%) positive or inconclusive participants were transferred to isolation hotels with 9 of 13 (69%) transferred within 72 hours of testing.
Our findings informed development of coronavirus disease 2019 surveillance testing and isolation protocols for PEH and highlight the value of community partnerships in nimbly responding to the pandemic.
丹佛 COVID-19 联合工作组是一个多部门社区合作组织，成立的目的是协调无家可归者（PEH）的大流行应对措施。
描述跨学科社区合作伙伴如何合作制定、实施和试行集中收容所中严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 （SARS-CoV-2）检测和隔离方案，并讨论经验教训及后续应用。
在 2020 年 3 月至 5 月期间，社区合作伙伴合作设计、实施并在集中收容所的一部分 PEH 中进行试点检测和隔离，以评估可行性并为方案制定提供信息。
我们对 52 名有 PEH 的人进行了 SARS-CoV-2 检测，其中 14 人（27%）检测结果呈阳性或不确定。13 名（93%）阳性或不确定的参与者被转移到隔离酒店，其中 9 名（69%）在检测后 72 小时内转移。
我们的发现为 PEH 的 2019 冠状病毒病监测检测和隔离方案的制定提供了信息，并强调了社区伙伴关系在灵活应对大流行方面的价值。
