FOX 29's Shawnette Wilson reports. PHILADELPHIA - The homeless population in Philadelphia is worried about the spread of COVID-19. "I only know what I’ve been reading in the newspaper and stuff," said Tim Brennan.
He was reading the headlines when FOX 29's Shawnette Wilson0 talked to him near Broad and Walnut Thursday evening where he sleeps and panhandles. "All of us that are on the street are worried about it," he said.
Brennan says the main things to help curb the spread of the coronavirus like handwashing, self-quarantine and avoiding close proximity to others are impossible for people in his situation. "Most of us that are on the street we're all kind of stuck," he said.
