What is the City Doing?

The Gardner Department of Public Health (GDPH) is paying close attention to the situation in Massachusetts, the country, and around the world. GDPH is closely collaborating,  planning, and coordinating with the City and the Gardner Public Schools.

Staff are participating in conference calls with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Massachusetts Department of Public Heath (MDPH), and receiving regular updates from both agencies. GDPH is also sharing state and federal guidance, as it becomes available, with Gardner first responders, school officials, and other groups.
