Part of the city of Portland's emergency efforts to slow the spread of the corornavirus is a system of newly-placed portable toilets and hand-washing stations.

City officials first announced the additional stations Wednesday, and released a list of locations today. Portland City Hall is trying to increase hygiene in a city where a disproportionately large share of the population sleeps on the streets. Homeless people don't have easy access to sinks and faucets, so the city hopes this will help.

Here is a map of those facilities and below is a list of the addresses.
