CARLSBAD, Calif. (KGTV) - The City of Carlsbad is taking steps to prevent Hepatitis A from spreading in their city.
This week they passed an 'urgency ordinance' to help with sanitation, meaning they bypassed the 30-day waiting period.
City parks typically close at 10 p.m. Now the homeless will have access to them between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. in order to utilize portable handwashing stations and toilets.
Permanent bathrooms will remain closed.
The City of Carlsbad Police Department will increase patrols overnight to ensure any after-hours use complies with the new ordinance.
