The Lynn Public Health Department has confirmed that as of today, April 8, 2020, the number of confirmed positive COVID-19 cases has risen to 344, 13 have recovered, and 4 Lynn residents have died. As the number of cases in Lynn continue to rise, residents need to be vigilant of the increasing threat of the spread of COVID-19 resulting from the lack of compliance with social distancing guidelines by some in our community. I implore you to stay home.

The City of Lynn, in partnership with North Shore Community Action Programs and the Medical Reserve Corps, is offering a Lynn Health Line where trained Medical Reserve Corps volunteers are available to answer your questions and share information concerning COVID-19. Lynn residents can call the Lynn Health Line at 978-548-5798, from 8:00AM-8:00PM, 7 days a week, or visit www.lynnma.gov/coronavirus for more information.

There will be no Grab & Go Lunches pickup through the Lynn Public Schools this Friday, April 10th due to Good Friday. Tomorrow, Thursday, April 9th , students will be provided with a total of four (4) meals: one for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Next week, normal distribution will resume.

We will continue to provide regular updates on COVID-19 through the City website (www.lynnma.gov), social media, and the Smart 911 emergency notification system (sign up at www.smart911.com).
