The City of Worcester continues to work with and receive guidance from the CDC and the State of Massachusetts on how to treat possible cases and prevent the spread of COVID-19. We encourage you to check out the following information to learn more about COVID-19.
A COVID-19 Information Line has been established at 508-799-1019. The line provides facts and information about COVID-19, how to stop the spread, what to do if someone is experiencing symptoms and quarantine information. The line is available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese and Albanian with an option for individuals to speak live with a nurse, Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Massachusetts 2-1-1 will now provide real-time COVID-19 information, resources, and referrals in multiple languages.
An ASL Now Hotline from CSD (Communication Service for the Deaf) has been established where residents can ask questions about COVID-19 and get support. Visit www.csd.org or call via videophone at 833-682-7630.
Find out about important programs available to Worcester residents and small businesses including employment and financial assistance as well as how to cope with COVID-19.
Can you sew face masks? Do you have needed items to donate? Do you wish to volunteer as a medical volunteer or volunteer at emergency shelters? Do you want to contribute to the Worcester Together Program? If the answer is yes please help us!
A video library has been created with health tips and facts about the virus from City of Worcester Medical Director Dr. Michael Hirsh. Residents are asked to share these videos widely among their social networks.
Residents needing ASL videos and information may review the CDC's COVID-19 ASL Playlist and the Coronavirus Visual Tool.
