Boston May Take 'Serious Action' If Coronavirus Numbers Don’t Improve
"Restaurants, hair salons, gatherings of 25, all of that is going to be discussed," the mayor said.
BOSTON — Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said that with coronavirus infection numbers rising, it is possible there will be additional shutdowns in the city if there is not improvement.
The city announced on Wednesday that Boston Public Schools will suspend in-person learning until there is two full weeks of falling infection rates. Boston’s seven-day average COVID-19 positive test rate is 5.7%, an increase from last week’s rate of 4.5%.
During an interview with WBZ-TV, Walsh was asked his response to parents who are frustrated that students are unable to learn in the classroom, but businesses such as restaurants are allowed to remain open.
