Montachusett Public Health Network COVID-19 Response Team
Lead by the Fitchburg Health Department, the MPHN COVID-19 Response Team provides support with COVID-19 related needs for the cities and towns of Athol, Clinton, Fitchburg, Gardner, Leominster, Phillipston, Princeton, Royalston, Sterling, Templeton, Westminster, and Winchendon. Staff are available from the Response Team on Mondays-Saturdays 10:00 AM - 5:30 PM. If you test positive at home with a rapid antigen test, please fill out this form to help control the spread of COVID-19 and to request support with resources, treatment, and guidance. Services are available in English and Spanish.
If you test positive for COVID-19, you may receive a phone call from a staff member of the Montachusett Public Health Network COVID-19 Response Team (phone number 978-602-2356). The purpose of this phone call is to provide you with guidance for your isolation period, ask you questions that will help control the spread of COVID-19, and support you with any resource needs, treatment needs, or questions that you may have. Staff members of the Montachusett Public Health Network COVID-19 Response Team will never ask you for your social security number, bank account information, credit card numbers, or money. Discussions with staff members of the Montachusett Public Health Network COVID-19 Response Team are confidential.
If you do not receive a phone call, you will instead receive a text message from the Montachusett Public Health Network COVID-19 Response Team (text number 978-464-8665). The text message will lead you to a safe and secure digital questionnaire to answer questions that will help control the spread of COVID-19 and to request support with resources, treatment, or questions. Your responses to this questionnaire are confidential. If you do not complete the questionnaire within 24 hours, you will be added to a list to possibly receive a phone call from a staff member of the Montachusett Public Health Network COVID-19 Response Team. Please note that responses to the text message are not monitored.
