The Baltimore City Health Department has a website containing resources to help people navigate the pandemic. The website, which can be accessed at coronavirus.baltimorecity.gov, includes information about food distribution sites, clinical guidance for healthcare providers, shareable infographics with information about the coronavirus, ways people can help others through volunteering and donating, and other resources.
The Maryland Department of Health has a resource page with information about who is eligible for vaccination, and where to pre-register for an appointment at a mass vaccination site or find a pharmacy, hospital or local health department near you to make an appointment. They offer tips on how to slow the spread of COVID-19 including watching your distance, washing your hands and wearing your mask. They also have a COVID-19 dashboard to provide updates about the virus as they become available.
