|Updated:

Orange County officials have converted the Fullerton Navigation Center into a COVID-19 treatment facility as surging infection rates have spread to the county’s homeless population.

The navigation center will serve as a living area where the county’s homeless population with the disease can isolate, reducing the risk of healthy people being infected at more crowded shelters. County officials worked with the City of Fullerton to increase the number of beds at the center to accommodate the added residents.
