COVID-19
Information is rapidly changing, and the Town of Sharon will continue to use this site to keep residents up-to-date as new information becomes available. Please refer to the tabs on the left for resources and information.
COVID-19 Survey
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MA-DPH) is trying to better help people through the COVID-19 crisis by hearing about their experiences and challenges right now. By taking this survey, you can help find new solutions to community problems, and give MA-DPH the information they need to take action and support the communities that need it most. MA-DPH is also committed to sharing information back in ways that will help us all take collective action.
This effort will help DPH better understand the impact of COVID-19 on our communities, and would encourage anyone over the age of 14 to participate using this link: www.mass.gov/COVIDsurvey
COVID-19 Travel Order
Effective August 1, 2020, all visitors and returning residents entering Massachusetts must follow new travel orders. The Commonwealth has made great progress to slow the spread of COVID-19 and gradually re-open the economy, and all visitors have a responsibility to help us keep transmission levels as low as possible.

Face Masks Required Effective 5/6/2020
Effective May 6, all residents over the age of two must use a face covering or mask in public places where maintaining proper social distancing measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 are not possible. Read the Order here.
The Fire Department and the Board of Health have made disposable masks available for Sharon residents who need one; they can be found in the vestibule at the Public Safety Building or at the Health Department on the second floor of Town Hall. Please respect the limit per person. These masks are for short-term use; reusable cloth coverings are more appropriate. Learn how to make your own cloth face covering here.
Also, for those with challenges getting to either location, you can contact the Board of Health or the Fire Department to request assistance, or complete online assistance form.
