I work for the Somerville Public Schools and my colleague Maura Mendoza (also a longtime Cambridge resident) is looking for an apartment in the neighborhood for herself and her young son. I wondered if you would send out a request to the neighborhood group? Maura is a beautiful woman from El Salvador. She is a musician and also runs the multilingual services department for the Somerville Public Schools. She would be a wonderful tenant. > > > > Any help would be much appreciated.

I have been working in Somerville Public Schools as a Multilingual Services Coordinator for the last eight years and living in the Cambridge area for 13 years. I am in the process of a separation with my husband and looking to move into a beautiful apartment for me and my son by Sept 1st. My budget is 1,200 a month. Smoke and pet free family, however we might want to adopt a cat to keep me company while my son stays with dad every other week. Any hints and/or leads, will be gladly appreciated. > > > > ¡Gracias/Obrigado/Merci/Danke/thank you! > > > > Maura.-- > > > > +1 (305) 393-9724 > > mauramendoza(a)gmail.com mailto:mauramendoza@gmail.com > > > > > > > > >

A couple of relevant City announcements re COVID

Cambridge Public Health Department COVID- 19 Mask Advisory July 30, 2021 In response to the recent spread of the Delta variant, including among vaccinated individuals, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has updated its mask guidance to recommend that even fully vaccinated persons wear a mask when indoors if other risk factors are present. New COVID-19 infections among Cambridge residents increased in July. The Delta variant is more highly transmissible than other variants, calling for greater precautions. The Cambridge Public Health Department continues to urge residents -- vaccinated and not -- to wear a mask when indoors in shared spaces. To be extra protective, people who are living with someone who is immunocompromised may choose to wear a mask in all indoor settings beyond their own home. COVID-19 vaccines remain extremely effective in protecting against serious illness. However, fully vaccinated individuals can become infected with COVID-19 in so-called breakthrough cases. Recent evidence also indicates that people who are vaccinated and infected with the Delta variant can spread COVID-19 to others. For this reason, it is especially important for vaccinated individuals to wear a mask indoors if they: * Have a weakened immune system; * Are at increased risk for severe disease because of age or an underlying medical condition; * Live with someone who has a weakened immune system, is at increased risk for severe disease, or is unvaccinated. COVID-19 vaccines are readily available. Unvaccinated residents are urged to get vaccinated to protect themselves and others from serious illness and continue to take such precautions as wearing a mask, washing hands, practicing physical distancing, and avoiding crowds and crowded indoor spaces. As a reminder, the City of Cambridge offers free COVID-19 testing https://www.cambridgema.gov/covid19/testing 2 days per week - on Mondays and Thursdays - inside the CambridgeSide Mall. Testing is located on the 2nd Floor above the Food Court. Free parking is available in the lower-level of the garage; entrance located on CambridgeSide Place. Additionally a third testing site will open on Sundays at 50 Church Street in Harvard Square beginning on August 8th. For more information, visit www.cambridgema.gov/covid19 https://www.cambridgema.gov/covid19 . The City and the Public Health Department are closely monitoring COVID-19 case trends in Cambridge and the Commonwealth and will continue to issue updates and critical information to the community. For more information, visit www.cambridgema.gov/covid19 https://www.cambridgema.gov/covid19 . To stay informed on an ongoing basis, please subscribe to the city’s daily email update. https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/xdOL2Ta/COVID19 ______________________________________________________________ Second Summer Vaccine Party at the King Open School on August 4, 2021 July 29, 2021 The Cambridge Public Health Department, Cambridge Public Schools, and Cambridge Health Alliance invite you to get your COVID-19 vaccine at the Summer Vax Party: Part II on Wednesday, August 4 from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the King Open School (850 Cambridge St, Cambridge, MA). Stop by for a free dose of the Pfizer vaccine: * If you attended the first Summer Vax Party on July 14, you are already pre-registered to receive your second and final dose. * If you are receiving your first dose, no prior registration is needed. Please note that there will not be another upcoming Summer Vax Clinic and you will need to find another location for your second dose. COVID-19 vaccine locations can be found on the City of Cambridge website, located here. https://www.cambridgema.gov/covid19/vaccine Everyone 12 and older is welcome to get a COVID-19 vaccine. While CPHD is encouraging middle schoolers and their parents, as well as CPS summer program participants, to attend this summer vax clinic, it is open to everyone in Cambridge! The vaccine is free.
