Greetings to the residents of the Greater Mondawmin Community. Due to the recent COVID-19 mandates set by the federal government and Governor Hogan, GMCC is reducing office person to person contact. Should your organization require printing of flyers for distribution to your neighbors, please call and leave a message at (410) 523-4500. We encourage each of you to consider hosting your community meetings remotely via an online conference calling or video conference website, such a Free Conference Call. This site is free and easy to use.
When conducting your remote community meetings online, please take notes as you would normally and email your report to office@greatermondawmin.org. As of this message, food markets and pharmacies are to remain open.
Local TV stations are constantly providing Up-To-Date COVID-19 information and GMCC will post health related information to our web page as well.
Below are recommendations on how to stop the spread of the virus and where to seek help.
“Whatever happens, do not lose hold of the two main ropes of life —- hope and faith.”
Blessings,
Adeline Hutchinson
President, GMCC

Symptoms & what to do:
If you are having symptoms that are mild, such as fever, congestion, or body aches, please call a doctor before going to the ER. You may be able to be sent to a tent for testing, which is preferable to coming to the ER. If you do not have a doctor / Primary Care Physician (PCP), can call Johns Hopkins to get guidance on testing at 443-997-9537.
