Mask Mandate & COVID tests/vaccines

The City of Lowell has rescinded the citywide indoor mask mandate, although it still applies to schools and City buildings. In keeping with this change, the Canal Place Board has voted to rescind the requirement that folks be masked in all common areas. The Board does, however, in line with CDC guidelines, encourage residents to continue masking in areas where social distancing is difficult such as the mailroom and elevators. Signage around the building will be replaced to reflect this change by end of day today.

Also: the city of Lowell announced it will again distribute free, at-home COVID-19 test kits to city residents from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday. The tests will be available at the following locations:

  • Robinson Middle School, 110 June St.
  • Lowell Senior Center, 276 Broadway St.
  • Daley Middle School, 150 Fleming St.
  • Pyne Arts School, 145 Boylston St.
  • Pawtucketville Memorial Elementary School, 425 W. Meadow Road

Supplies will be limited at each site, according to a city press release. All Lowell residents will be eligible to receive two tests each. Proof of Lowell residency in the form of a government-issued identification or a current utility bill displaying a name and address will be required to obtain tests.

And finally, the Lowell Senior Center will be hosting a walk-in COVID-19 vaccine clinic for ages five and up on Sunday, 2/6, from 9am to noon. If you are receiving a second or third dose of vaccine, please bring your vaccination card with you.
