Winchester Health Department Digital Dose
BE AWARE! We have an alarming increase in Winchester's positivity rate recently with social gatherings and household spread as key contributors. Now is not the time to take COVID lightly: it is still here and circulating. We urge all to continue to social distance, wear masks, and make good choices and get a vaccine when you are eligible; all necessary to get back to normal. If you choose to travel or gather with friends, take precautions. Testing adds another layer of protection and is now conveniently available at Winchester Town Hall: winchester.us/633/Covid-Testing. Stay strong Winchester - now is not the time to give up - we got this!

Introducing Winchester Together,
a community based initiative of
coordinated events and acts of kindness
WINCHESTER TOGETHER
is a community based initiative of coordinated events and acts of kindness that offers hope and positivity to all generations of Winchester residents and our local essential workers. The goal of Winchester Together is to coordinate a series of events and acts of kindness to address the isolation and pandemic fatigue that many residents of Winchester are now experiencing. We act as a communication hub for residents and wish to promote safe activities that all generations of Winchester residents can find purpose in and enjoy.
