make sure that they know about the shelter in place order, because a lot of my house people don't have phones,so they cannot stay up with the news. 一定要让他们知道庇护所的情况，因为，我家很多人都没有手机，所以，他们无法及时了解新闻。 Officials in some cities are looking to buy hotels,so that after the pandemic, people aren't kicked back on the street. 一些城市的官员正在考虑购买酒店，如此一来,新冠肺炎之后，流浪汉就不会被赶到街头。
