With COVID-19 cases surging at an alarming rate, some Bay Area officials are pushing to reverse course and keep pandemic hotels open longer because they fear closing rooms that have sheltered thousands of unhoused people could have disastrous consequences.

Project Roomkey hotels, where homeless residents have sheltered-in-place during the pandemic, were supposed to be winding down and moving people out. But with more Californianians hospitalized with COVID-19 this week than ever before, and the threat of another state-wide shutdown order looming, some officials are reconsidering.
