The MDHHS COVID-19 hotline will sunset on June 30, 2024. The (888) 535-6316 phone number will remain active for one month after the hotline ends service with a pre-recorded message directing callers to other sources of COVID related information. After which the phone number will be deactivated.
Over the last four years, many agencies and organizations have placed the COVID hotline phone number on their website; however, it's impossible to know the exact reach to provide proper notification.
