If a shelter gets full, two hotels will be available for safe shelter on Monday and Tuesday.

Officials said transportation to the hotels will be provided from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. on each of these nights from the Coalition and to other area shelters.

The coalition said individuals will be asked a series of coronavirus screening questions and have their temperature taken.

The hotels helping out will have staff members from the shelters at the locations.
