I meant to tell you @Jean4. They had a story on my local news here where public officials from various cities in my area sent 17 people that they suspected of having the coronavirus to local motels. They are now claiming that all 17 people that they sent to these motels have been cleared and don't have the virus, but several emergency personnel are expressing concern about the practice. Apparently, it's common practice to send people with viruses and other illnesses that don't have anywhere else to go to motels. I'm not sure why you wouldn't put them in a hospital. They claim they still thoroughly clean the rooms afterwards and there's no chance of the public getting sick. They can't notify the public due to the patient's right to privacy, which I understand. But they weren't even notifying medical personnel either.
Now there's an argument going on between the city officials and medical personnel as to whether this practice is safe for the public or not. It's still puzzles me that they wouldn't put them in a hospital.
