COVID-19 Response
Your health and safety are Plymouth’s number one priority. We have been carefully watching the COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation as it develops. We’re working around-the-clock on the best ways to keep all of our residents healthy, safe, and comfortable. Here’s some of what we’re doing:
- Increasing janitorial services
- Frequently disinfecting high-touch surfaces
- Working with healthcare partners to provide screenings and support
- Reducing the number of building visitors like volunteers, staff, and guests to prevent spread
- Encouraging staff and residents to keep a wider distance between them to prevent spread
- Coming up with activities for you to do at home (ask your housing case manager)
And here are some resources about COVID-19 (coronavirus) and how to keep yourself healthy:
