The city of Berkeley has warned residents of a leptospirosis outbreak near the Eighth Street and Harrison Street encampment. The bacterial disease has been found in numerous rats and two dogs, and can be deadly in both animals and humans. 

Noemi Doohan, Berkeley’s public health officer, released a public health alert Monday that “strongly recommends” residents of the encampment relocate at least ⅓ miles away from the site due to the public health risk. 

The Berkeley Homeless Union, or BHU, and the city of Berkeley have been involved in ongoing litigation over the city’s attempts to sweep the encampment. The most recent hearing was Tuesday, during which the city and BHU discussed the rat outbreak.
