Residents can call the new COVID-19 Community Support Hotline at 1-855-453-0774 for the following:

Schedule vaccine and booster appointments
Schedule a homebound vaccination appointment
Speak to a medical professional
Get their questions answered on what to do next after becoming COVID positive or exposed
Get connected to resources while in isolation or quarantine (assuming eligibility and availability)

If you test positive for COVID-19, you may receive a text message with general information on isolation and quarantine guidance. If you test positive or suspect you have been exposed to COVID-19 and have questions, you may call the COVID-19 Community Support Hotline at 855-453-0774.

All calls are confidential and phone menu options are listed in both English and Spanish. The hotline is available Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Sunday from noon to 8 p.m.
