Union Gospel Twin Cities Men’s Campus has implemented a new health screening process for homeless men in St. Paul

The mission, which serves about 600 meals each day, has set up pre-entry screening tents to help staff recognize and separate any clients showing symptoms of the coronavirus.

At this time there are no cases of COVID-19 at the shelter, which is located at 435 University Avenue East, according to the mission.

In addition, the mission is limiting entrance points, reducing group sizes for meals, changing emergency shelter sleeping arrangements, suspending adult education programs, offering mental health services to people it serves via teletherapy, and setting up quarantine spaces.

Any men testing positive for COVID-19 will be sent to Mary Hall Residential Housing and Ramsey County’s Boys Totem Town.
