Despite coronavirus pandemic, Alexandria doctor presses on in homeless aid mission
There are many people whose missions don’t stop during a pandemic, and among them is an Alexandria, Virginia, doctor who treats the homeless in shelters and on the streets at night.
Demand for Dr. William Mazzella’s services has been up since WTOP first brought you his story in February. But now, his work is increasingly solitary.
“As far as street care, I don’t really feel comfortable having anyone else with me right now due to all the unknowns from coronavirus,” Mazzella said.
He’s using personal protective equipment, depending on its availability.
