Additional information
People with disabilities (PwD) and/or certain ongoing health problems, especially people who have problems with their lungs or with fighting off illness, are at a higher risk of getting very sick if they get COVID-19. Together we can keep our most vulnerable residents safe and healthy, both physically and mentally, by taking specific steps.
Please visit the City of Cambridge's website and read through our section on Important Information & Resources, or contact us with additional questions.
