Homeless tent camps finally allowed on the streets of San Francisco due to the coronavirus pandemic

San Francisco has finally allowed a tent encampment for homeless people living on the streets of the city.

Officials initially resisted the idea, but have followed other US cities in providing a safer space for the homeless during the coronavirus pandemic.

Around 80 tents have been erected outside City Hall. The camp is enclosed by fencing and the residents have access to food, showers and clean water.

Despite the encampment, many homeless residents are still extremely concerned for their wellbeing.
