How Should Autonomy of Persons Experiencing Homelessness Be Balanced With Public Health During a Pandemic?
2021
The AMA Journal of Ethic
The COVID-19 pandemic underscores long-standing challenges to the health of persons experiencing homelessness. This case commentary considers primary care clinicians' response to a patient who declines COVID-19 testing and isolation.
