But these measures are temporary. We are strong, and when we unite behind a cause, we are unstoppable. Call your neighbors, play your part, stay home, and stay healthy, and we will get through this crisis together.” – Mayor Scott Galvin

Coronaviruses are respiratory viruses and are generally spread through respiratory secretions (droplets from coughs and sneezes) of an infected person to another person. Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough and shortness of breath, and, in severe cases, pneumonia (fluid in the lungs). More information on COVID-19 is available at https://www.mass.gov/2019coronavirus.
The primary mission of the City of Woburn Board of Health Department is to assess and address the needs of the City of Woburn community, in order to protect and improve health and quality of life of our residents, visitors, and work force.
The Health Department right now is working closely with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the U.S. Center for Disease Control to monitor the evolving outbreak of COVID-19, in particular here in the City of Woburn, but also across the state and the country. Updates will be provided on this page as information is received.

Suspension of Non-Emergency Housing and District Court Hearings, Including Summary Process Evictions
Please note that, in the interest of the health and safety of the parties and the general public, the Massachusetts Housing Court has suspended all non-emergency proceedings, including non-emergency summary process evictions, until at least April 21st. The Massachusetts District Court, including Woburn District Court, also has suspended non-emergency hearings until at least April 6, 2020. As a result, the courts will not hold any non-emergency eviction hearings for the next several weeks. If there is an emergency situation, such as violent criminal behavior posing a threat to resident health and safety, the courts will consider whether the situation warrants an earlier hearing.
