FILE - In this Sept. 25, 2017 file photo, police officers remove a tent left by the homeless during efforts to sanitize neighborhoods to control the spread of hepatitis A, in San Diego. Health officials say a deadly California outbreak of hepatitis A may take a year or more to abate. The liver-damaging illness has infected hundreds of people since last November, chiefly in San Diego, Santa Cruz and Los Angeles counties. Most cases and all 17 deaths occurred in San Diego County. Experts believe the highly contagious disease was spread by transients there to homeless populations around the state. (AP Photo/Gregory Bull,File)
